How to stand in prayer and the spacing between the feet

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: What is the correct way to stand in prayer? Does one bring the feet together and align them, or does one space them apart?

Answer:
The middle way, my brother. It is not that you bring your feet together, because you are restricted, nor is it that you space them apart. You take the position of two men. All of this is not acceptable. The moderation in this is to separate them, but without exaggeration. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you
