What is the correct manner of tawruk in prayer?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Regarding the issue of tawruk: some scholars held that one inserts his foot between his leg and his thigh?

Answer:
We have previously discussed this; the narration of Ibn al-Zubayr is questionable, and it appears to be a mistake by some of the narrators. The well-known practice of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is iftirash, and that tawruk involves extending one's leg from the right side, placing it under the thigh and leg. As for inserting it between the thigh and the leg, this involves difficulty and hardship, and also a lack of humility in prayer. It is likely that some narrators mistakenly thought he inserted it under his thigh and leg, so they described it as being between the thigh and the leg. The correct method is to place it under the thigh and leg, and ambiguous hadiths are explained by clear hadiths.
