How do we deal with the disagreement over descending into prostration?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Some students of knowledge have heated discussions among themselves, and it may have reached the point of boycotting one another, over the issue of descending into prostration: does one place the knees first or the hands? So what is your guidance?

Answer:
This does not require harshness or anything of the sort. Both are schools of thought, and each has evidence supporting it. This indicates that the matter is broad in this regard, and praise be to Allah. Whether one places his hands before his knees or his knees before his hands, both are correct, if Allah wills.
And both have evidence and scholars in this matter. So it should not be that there is animosity or boycotting among the students of knowledge. This is not from the guidance of Islam. As for the disputed issues that have supporting evidence and it is not known which is stronger, this is not permissible.
Perhaps you hold one opinion as stronger, and he holds another as stronger, and he has his supporting evidence. Should you not have a broad chest and accept the opinions of the scholars, without being severe or restrictive, thinking that this is the truth and the other is wrong? Yes.
