Her final question is: What is the ruling on placing the elbows on the ground during prostration?
Answer:
This is disliked and should not be done. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Muslim 494 and "he forbade sprawling like the sprawling of a beast." The Sunnah is to raise the elbows, whether for a man or a woman, by lifting the forearms off the ground and resting on the palms during prostration. This is the Sunnah.
