Does the forbidden movement in prayer invalidate the prayer?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : What?
The forbidden movement invalidates the prayer, yes.
But what do you say about what is established in the hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was leading the people in prayer with Umamah daughter of Zainab daughter of the Messenger of Allah(ﷺ) (in his lap). When he prostrated, he put her down and when he got up(after prostration) he lifted her up. أنه كان يصلي وهو حامل أمامة بنت زينب بنت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فإذا قام حملها، وإذا سجد وضعها
Sunan Abi Dawud 917Sahih (Al-Albani)
.
This movement is of the permissible movements, because it is slight and for a need, and the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) loved gentleness.
So we say that a movement like this, if a mother has a boy who is crying and he stops when she picks him up, there is no blame on her for picking him up while standing and putting him down while prostrating, because this is a need.
