The hadith prohibits tawruk and i'qaa', so what is the correct understanding of this hadith?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Well, Shaykh, I read in "Al-Silsilah al-Sahihah" that there is a hadith prohibiting tawruk and i'qaa'. How do we apply this? I mean, if we say tawruk does not apply to it, what is the correct understanding of the hadith?
The Shaykh : I will ask you a question now.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : So that you may gain understanding in the religion.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Do you perform tawruk between the two prostrations?
The questioner: No.
The Shaykh : Well, if you perform tawruk between the two prostrations, does that mean you followed the Sunnah or did you contradict it?
The questioner : I contradicted it.
The Shaykh : Yes, understand the hadith in light of this contradiction.
The questioner : Only in this sense?
The Shaykh : Only?
The questioner : Praise be to Allah.
The Shaykh : No, I mean only in light of the contradiction. There may be another example, but I wanted to bring you closer to the idea that the prohibition is understood as applying to what contradicts the Sunnah, so I gave you this example.
The questioner : Praise be to Allah.
The Shaykh : I will give you another example. In the first tashahhud, do you sit in the ifrash position or the tawruk position?
The questioner : I sit in the ifrash position.
The Shaykh : Well, if you sit in the tawruk position, just as if you sat in the tawruk position between the two prostrations, is that permissible?
The questioner : It is not permissible.
The Shaykh : Yes, that is the hadith.
The questioner : Only in this sense, praise be to Allah. The action of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) clarified the hadith.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : Praise be to Allah.
The Shaykh : I will ask you a question now.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : So that you may gain understanding in the religion.
