The Ruling on a Pregnant Woman Prostrating in Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: A pregnant woman finds it difficult to prostrate in prayer, so she is unable, Shaykh, to recite the tasbih more than once, and then she raises her head from prostration. Should she continue with this, or should she indicate the prostration with her head and recite the tasbih multiple times?
Answer:
Reciting the tasbih once is sufficient; that is the obligatory part, and anything beyond the first recitation is a recommended practice (sunnah). If she is able to prostrate on the ground and recite the tasbih once, and indicating the prostration with her head does not suffice for her, then yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
