Discussion of Ibn al-Qayyim’s (may Allah have mercy on him) evidence regarding the issue of lowering oneself to prostration on the knees and rising from it by relying on them.

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : ... regarding the verification by Shaykh Ibn al-Qayyim al-Jawziyyah of the issue of lowering oneself to prostration; where he stated in "Zad al-Ma'ad" that the correct view is placing the knees on the ground before the hands. I hope you will discuss ...? And peace be upon you.
Were it not for the fact that this question has actually been repeated dozens of times, and were it not for the abundance of trials—also—with contradicting the correct Sunnah, we would not have devoted ourselves to answering the questioner’s request, which is to discuss Ibn al-Qayyim’s evidence. Ibn al-Qayyim wrote about four pages on this issue and spoke at great length in it, as is his custom in many issues.
