Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Regarding prostration for recitation, is it obligatory for the Muslim to prostrate on the seven limbs, or is it permissible for him to clasp some of his fingers to hold the mushaf and keep it tight?
Answer:
Yes, prostration for recitation is like prostration in prayer in its entirety; it is prostration that requires the seven limbs. There is no harm in holding something in his hand, but he places his hand on the ground without lifting it off the ground; he places it there with the mushaf in it. Yes.
