What is the nature of the two prohibited postures, takhassur and ihtiba'?

The Shaykh : Yes?

The questioner : Explain to us the takhassur that is prohibited in prayer.

The Shaykh : Takhassur is doing it like this. No, no, that is not it. Like this.

The questioner : Ah, like this.

The Shaykh : And it is not like this.

The questioner : Ah, yes.

The Shaykh : The leaning to the side that some of the Shafi'is do. No, take it to the left.

Another questioner : On the left.

The Shaykh : Ah, you reversed it now.

The questioner : This is not takhassur, meaning. And ihtiba', and ihtiba'?

The Shaykh : This is not takhassur.

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh : Takhassur is placing the hand on the waist.

Another questioner : One hand or both hands?

The Shaykh : Or both hands. If he does it like this, it is takhassur. This is the takhassur I described to you. This is takhassur. But this is not takhassur.

The questioner : So what about ihtiba'?

The Shaykh : Ihtiba' is like this, and this is prohibited in the Friday sermon. Yes.
