The Shaykh discusses the recommended practice of iqtia' in prayer, that it is only recommended between the two prostrations, and his explanation of the places for tawruk and iftirash.

The Shaykh: Except in one of two cases: either he is ignorant, or he is excused. This is because this iqtia' has an extremely strange form, which is: that he straightens his legs and does this. This is iqtia' like the iqtia' of a dog. This is in addition to its contradicting many of the postures, whether in what is between the two prostrations or in the tashahhud. Because he must either do iftirash or iqtia' between the two prostrations. As for in the tashahhud: it is either iftirash or tawruk. So this straightening, which is the iqtia' of the dog, contradicts all these postures. As for between the two prostrations, it is a recommended iqtia'.

The questioner: And we call it iqtia'?

The Shaykh: And it has come - yes - and it has come in *Sahih Muslim*: "That a man asked Abdullah ibn Abbas about iqtia' between the two prostrations, and he said to him: ", like this.

The questioner: Okay, regarding the sitting, Shaykh, regarding the sitting, is the tawruk sitting in every last two rak'ahs, is it in every last?

The Shaykh: No, it is only in the second tashahhud.

The questioner: The second?

The Shaykh: Yes, indeed. As for my sitting, it is because of pain in my knee.

The questioner: May Allah heal you. I thought the recommended practice was in the last of every rak'ah.

The Shaykh: No, the recommended practice of Fajr and the obligatory Fajr is iftirash, the recommended practice of Fajr.

The questioner: In the four-rak'ah prayer, in the last tashahhud.

The Shaykh: I say: The recommended practice of Fajr and the obligatory Fajr is iftirash, as for Maghrib and the four-rak'ah prayers, it is iftirash in the middle and tawruk in the last.

The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
