The ruling on continuous movement during prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Does continuous movement by a person while he is praying the ritual prayer contradict khushu' (humility in prayer)?

Answer:
Yes, if it is excessive, it contradicts khushu'. But if it is for a need, there is nothing wrong with it. A person moves for a need, but without a need, he remains still before his Lord, Mighty and Majestic, because this indicates khushu' and the presence of the heart. Yes.
