Raising some of the limbs of prostration before completing it

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, does the meaning of prostrating on the limbs apply to all prostrations, wherever the limbs are placed, and they are inside? Does it not apply to the limbs of the imam before he completes it?

Answer:
No, it does not invalidate his prostration as long as he placed the limbs. If he prostrated on the seven limbs and then raised one of them before completing the prostration, his prostration is valid, but it is deficient. However, if he did not place it in all his prostrations without an excuse, in all his prostrations without an excuse, then his prostration is invalid because he did not perform the prostration that was commanded. Yes. And it is on the seven limbs. Yes.
Likewise, if he placed part of a limb, that suffices. If he placed part of a limb, it suffices for placing the whole of it. Although the more complete form is to place the whole limb. So if he placed part of his palm, the prostration is achieved. And the perfection is to place the whole palm on the ground. Yes.
