Ruling on prolonging the prostration in voluntary prayer more than the standing?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible for one performing voluntary prayer to prolong the prostration more than the standing?
Answer:
No, his prayer should be balanced. Al-Bara' said: "I observed the prayer of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and found that his standing, his bowing, his upright position after bowing, his prostration, and his sitting between the two prostrations were nearly equal." His prayer should be balanced and proportionate.
Q: Is it to be disapproved of if someone does that?
The Shaykh: The matter is broad. No, there is no disapproval. The matter is broad; there is no strictness.
