When in sadjah, how are Shafi women supposed to place their feet?
Question
Some shafi women place their feet so that they point backwards. I was under the impression that every part of our body including our feet should face Qiblah and that our stomachs should press against the thighs so as 2 be as contracted as possible.
Answer
Your understanding of the womans posture in sajda is correct.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
