Prostration of the patient who is unable to prostrate on his face

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: If a patient is unable to prostrate on his face during the obligatory prayer, is he required to place his hands?

Answer:
No, no. Prostration is with the forehead. If he is unable to prostrate with his forehead, he gestures with his head while sitting, and that is sufficient. Yes.
