The ruling on one who prayed standing without bowing or prostrating due to the crowd
A man prayed in the Haram, and it was a time of crowding, so he prayed standing, not bowing and not prostrating?
It is obligatory, if there is a crowd, for a person to perform the bowing; because bowing is easy, whereas prostration, he should wait until the people stand up and then prostrate, or sit and indicate the prostration, or prostrate on the back of a person, as some scholars have held that one should prostrate on the back of a person.
But what I see is: That he should either indicate the prostration, or wait until the imam stands up and then prostrate afterwards, and perhaps indicating the prostration is better; in that it does not cause him to lag behind the imam, and he has feared Allah as much as he was able.
The questioner: Does he have to repeat it now?The Shaykh: If he repeats it, that is more desirable to me.
