Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In his second question, he says: One of the brothers told me: When you stand in prayer, do not separate your feet and leave a span or less between them. Is his statement correct?
Answer:
This is contradictory speech: do not separate them and make a space between them! This is contradictory speech. The Sunnah is that one separates his feet and does not bring them together, according to what is easy. There should be a gap between his feet while he is standing; this is the Sunnah. As for specifying a measure, there is no need for specification. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
