The ruling on the prayer of one who prostrates on his nose and cannot place his forehead
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling for one who prays on his nose and cannot place his forehead? Is the prayer invalid?
Answer:
Yes, the prayer is not valid, and the prostration is not valid. If he does it intentionally, the prostration is invalid. However, if he was forgetful, he must repeat the prostration. If he is still in the prostration, he repeats it. If he has already stood up and recited, the rak'ah is invalid, and he must perform a rak'ah in its place, because this rak'ah became invalid due to the invalidity of the prostration. It is obligatory to prostrate on both the forehead and the nose. If he realizes it immediately, he must repeat the prostration immediately before standing up. Yes.
