Is it permissible for the prostrator to raise one of his legs?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, may Allah bless you, regarding the one who raises his feet while prostrating?
The Shaykh : Yes, it is not permissible for a person while prostrating to raise his hands or one of his hands, or his legs or one of his legs, because it is obligatory to prostrate on the seven limbs: the forehead with the nose, the two palms, the two knees, and the toes. If he raises them until he stands up from the prostration, his prayer is invalid. However, if he raises them and then lowers them quickly, I hope that he does not have to repeat the prayer.
The questioner : May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh : And among you.
