The Amount of the Obligation in Prostrating on the Seven Limbs

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, regarding prostrating on the seven limbs, he says: What is the amount that is obligatory? Is it sufficient to place them to the extent of the obligatory dhikr and then lift them slightly?

Answer:
He does not lift anything except for an excuse. Without an excuse, as long as he is in prostration, he keeps his limbs on the place of prostration. He does not lift them except for an excuse.
