The ruling on raising the hand during prostration for a need

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, prostrating on the seven limbs is a pillar of the prayer. If one raises his hand for a need, such as taking a handkerchief or money, does his prayer become invalid?

Answer:
No, if he raises it for a need and puts it back, if he raises it for a need and puts it back, his prayer does not become invalid. It is permissible for a person to raise his hand to adjust something, or a knot in his body, or to push away something that hurts him. There is nothing wrong with that, and he puts the limb he raised back in its place. Yes.
