The questioner : He says:The questioner : Many people, when they prostrate in prayer, may not pay attention to placing their feet and securing them on the ground. Is their prayer valid, O honorable Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Yes. Some people, when they prostrate, lift the tips of their feet off the ground. Is that permissible or not? We say it is not permissible, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih al-Bukhari 810 We were commanded in this wording, and in another wording: Bulugh al-Maram 2:183 So it is necessary to prostrate on all seven limbs. Count them for us.
