Is it valid for some people to extend themselves in prostration until they appear to be lying flat?

Question : Shaykh, may Allah reward you. Some people, under the pretext of spreading their arms, extend themselves so much that they leave the row entirely. Is this a calamity?

Answer : This is also an important question. Some people, when they prostrate, extend themselves until they are almost lying flat on their stomachs and go beyond the limit of the people. This is a misunderstanding, and there is much misunderstanding. Sometimes, excessive zeal becomes a cause of error. The correct practice is that one does not extend oneself, but rather raises one’s back like this.
