Lifting the feet of the ground in sajdah

· 18 Muharram 1439 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

What is the ruling on the person who lifts his feet of the ground during sajdah? Is his salaah invalidated?

Answer

If both the feet are lifted of the ground for the duration of three subhaanallahs (i.e. the time it takes to recite subhaanallah thrice) the salaah will break.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

قال الشامي في رد المحتار : قوله ( وقدميه ) يجب إسقاطه لأن أصبع واحدة منهما يكفي كما ذكره بعد ح وأفاد أنه لو لم يضع شيئا من القدمين لم يصح السجود (رد المحتار 1/ 447)
