How to Position the Feet During Prostration in Prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: How should the feet be positioned during prostration? Are they together? Or apart?

Answer:
Apart. The Sunnah is to separate them, just as one separates the hands when prostrating, and likewise one separates the feet when prostrating. As for what is narrated:
That he (peace and blessings be upon him) was prostrating and his ankle was touching the other ankleأنه ﷺ كان ساجدًا وكعبه ملتصق بالكعب الآخر
, there is doubt regarding this, and it appears to be an anomalous narration that contradicts the authentic hadiths. It was narrated by al-Hakim and a group of others. The preserved report is that he (peace and blessings be upon him) used to stand his feet upright, each one separate from the other. Yes.

The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
