The ruling on one who prays and does not spread his hand on the ground during prostration
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace.
The questioner : May Allah keep you safe, Shaykh. What is the ruling on the prayer of one who, when he prostrates, cannot place his entire hand on the ground, but only places his fingers without the palm?
The Shaykh : It is deficient, but it is valid. May Allah guide you. Because a part of every limb is sufficient. May Allah reward you. However, the safer it is, the better it is.
