Does movement invalidate the prayer?

Question:
He is asking another question about movement in the prayer: does it invalidate it or not?

Answer:
There is a detailed ruling regarding movement: slight and scattered movement does not invalidate the prayer, but if it becomes excessive and continuous, it invalidates the prayer according to the scholars. If it is excessive by custom and continuous, it invalidates the prayer. However, there is no basis for specifying a limit of three movements. But if one repeats a lot of movement with his hands, or walks forward or backward continuously and excessively without a legitimate religious reason, it invalidates the prayer. However, if there is a legitimate religious reason, such as moving forward to fill a gap in the row, like the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did in the eclipse prayer when Paradise was shown to him and he moved forward, and when he saw the Fire he moved back, there is no harm in that. And like when he moved forward to ascend the pulpit to pray over him, then descended. So if it is for a legitimate religious purpose, there is no harm. But repeating movement excessively and continuously without a legitimate religious reason invalidates the prayer, so it is obligatory to be cautious of that. Yes.
