Explanation of the prohibition against kneeling in prayer like a camel, placing the knees first.

The Shaykh : Let us give a few examples of this. The majority of people, when they prostrate, prostrate on their knees; that is, the first part of their bodies to touch the ground is the knees, then the hands. This is contrary to the action of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and contrary to his command as well, because he said: Naturally, this is not specific to men; "one of you, O Muslims," includes both women and men. People today place their knees before their hands. Do these people apply this part of this hadith: No, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), as Abdullah ibn 'Umar ibn al-Khattab says: This is the prayer of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). He did not suffice with that; rather, he commanded it explicitly with his words, saying: Why do people not do this, when they know from "Sahih al-Bukhari" and "Sahih Muslim" his previous statement: Why do they not do it out of spite for the Sunnah? May Allah be far from that! Because it is inconceivable that a Muslim would intentionally oppose the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) out of spite for the Messenger; otherwise, that would be disbelief. Therefore, He (Glorified and Exalted is He) said: So it is inconceivable that a Muslim who knows the Sunnah and knows the command of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) to place the hands before the knees during prostration would then contradict what the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited. This is inconceivable except in one case, which is his ignorance of this Sunnah. And this is the reality of the matter: the majority of worshippers today, when they kneel like a camel, placing their knees before their hands, do so only because of their ignorance of the practical and verbal Sunnah of the Messenger (may Allah's prayers and blessings be upon him). His action was that when he prostrated, he placed his hands before his knees. His command was: Naturally, because if a Muslim knows such as His saying (Mighty and Majestic): It is inconceivable that a Muslim would be ignorant of this command. Then, if we know such a hadith, that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) says: and this Muslim does not care to know how he should pray, he is undoubtedly accountable. This is the opposite of issues that arise for a person where he does something and wonders, "Is this permissible or not?" It does not occur to him that this is forbidden, so he asks. But prayer, which he repeats many times a day, and he knows that Allah (Mighty and Majestic) commanded the establishment of prayer, meaning the perfection of prayer, and the Messenger affirms this, saying: and yet he does not care about it and does not pay any attention to it, he is undoubtedly responsible and accountable for this negligence.
