The ruling on placing the elbows on the ground during prostration
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: A woman asks: What is the ruling on placing the elbows on the ground during prostration?
A: This is disliked and should not be done, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Muslim 494 Muslim narrated it in his Sahih. He also forbade spreading out the limbs like a beast, so the Sunnah is to raise the elbows, whether one is a man or a woman, and whether the prayer is obligatory or voluntary, and to rest on the palms during prostration.
A: This is disliked and should not be done, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
When you prostrate yourself, place the palms of your hands on the ground and raise your elbows.
إذا سجدت فضع كفيك وارفع مرفقيك
