The Shaykh’s 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 : We ask you to clarify your opinion on the Shaykh Ibn al-Qayyim al-Jawziyyah’s (may Allah have mercy on him) research on 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. We ask for a discussion. 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 frequent trial of deviating from 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 was very verbose in it, as is his habit in many issues.
