The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: What is the ruling on the one who prostrates and says the obligatory dhikr, then raises his head for a need, then returns to it?
The Shaykh:
With you.
The questioner:
The ruling on the one who prostrates and says the obligatory dhikr, then raises his head slightly for a need, then returns to it.
The Shaykh:
If he raises his head for a need, he breaks the prostration and then returns to it? No. He lightens the prostration if he needs to raise his head; he lightens the prostration to the extent that suffices, and there is no harm in that. But he raises his head and then returns? No.
