Walking and Small Steps in Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If they are standing in front of him at the place of relief, and I find the first thing in the row in front of me, does he remove it with his prostration, or with his hands?
Answer:
Small steps in prayer, especially if there is a need, are permissible. If there is a need, such as closing a gap, there is no harm in that. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ascended the pulpit and descended from it while he was praying. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did that for the purpose of teaching, for the purpose of teaching people prayer, so that the two who are safe from the Fire would see it and follow his example. Yes.
