What should a person do if it is too hard for him when the imam prostrates for a long time?
Question: 118860
If it is too hard for me when the imam prostrates for a long time, what should I do? Should I prostrate with the imam then rise before him, or delay prostrating behind him?.
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
If he cannot prostrate from the time when the imam says the
takbeer until he rises, then he should prostrate with the imam, then if it
becomes too hard for him to continue prostrating, he may rise a little but
stay as close as possible to the ground, and this will not mean that he is
differing from his imam. If he cannot prostrate on the ground, then he may
prostrate as close as he can to the ground. End quote.
Shaykh Muhammad ibn Ibraaheem (may Allaah have mercy on him).
