Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This sister, the questioner from al-Qassim, al-Bada'i (A. M. A.), al-Harbi, says: O His Eminence the Shaykh! I prolong my prostration during the Tahajjud prayer and I feel fatigue in my hands and chest. Is it permissible for me to place a pillow under my chest and my elbows?
Answer:
I do not know of any basis for this, but what is prescribed is to avoid overexertion; do not prolong the prostration so as not to overexert yourself. As for placing these items, I do not know of any basis for them, but the Sunnah is to avoid overexertion. You prostrate according to your capacity and do not overexert yourself. Yes.
