The Resting Position in Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is the resting position in the prayer a recommended practice for everyone?
Answer:
This is a matter of disagreement among the scholars. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did it when he grew old (peace and blessings be upon him), but did he do it out of necessity when he became heavy (peace and blessings be upon him), or did he do it as a legislative ruling? There is disagreement regarding these two views.
