Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Why was the prohibition changed to being disliked in the issue of placing the hands before the knees in prostration, given that it was mentioned alongside the crowing of the rooster, which is forbidden?
Answer:
Because there was no consensus that the meaning of placing the hands before the knees in prostration is that one remains in one place. Rather, its interpretation was also given as what I mentioned to you: that one does not place his hands in prostration before his knees if he is able to place his knees first and then his hands. Yes.
