Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Where on the chest are the hands placed in prayer?
The Shaykh:
The chest, the chest is clear, it is known, it does not need clarification, yes.
Another questioner:
I do not think the Shaykh raises them above.
The Shaykh:
The throat, this has no basis, placing them on the throat has no basis, whereas placing them on the chest is the Sunnah. And it appears that everyone knows their own chest.
Another questioner:
Do you not mean by your saying: Yes.
The Shaykh:
The majority of the scholars, the majority means the greater number. The majority means the greater number, and when it is said "the majority," it means that there is disagreement among the scholars, but most of them agree on one opinion.
