Do you leave some of the recommended practices (sunnah) if they cause harm to those around you?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : He says: Sometimes, if the garment is not sufficient, it harms his neighbor, meaning the one next to him in prayer.

Answer : And this is a correct truth. We say in this case, restrain it from your neighbor only. Because if performing a recommended practice (sunnah) necessitates harming the one next to you, do not harm him. For example, if sitting in the tawruk position in the final tashahhud harms the one next to you, do not sit in tawruk, because removing harm is more important than performing a recommended practice (sunnah). As for the issue of dust, glory to Allah the Great! He wants to keep his garment free from dust, while he has rubbed his face in the dust. What is this? People are not floating; I am a voice of confirmation. Yes, or he says: when he finishes, he does this and goes, and everything is gone, but the dust remains in the garment. Yes, this is a mistake. Yes.
