Question

Can i pray normally? Or should i ask my doctor? I am pregnant right now. Is it safe for me to pray in the normal way? Can there be any harm to the baby if I go into Sajda as my stomach gets pressed too much. Jazak Allah

Answer

You should consult your doctor and follow his/her advise.

In principle, if it is harmful to go into Sajdah, then you may sit and perform Salaat and make Sajdah through Ishaarah (indication).

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
