| The first question of Fatwa no. 20035 Q 1: What is the ruling on standing in Salah (Prayer) with one's feet close together; because this issue distracts me in Salah and what is the Islamic evidence? | | (Part No. 5; Page No. 357) | |
A: There is no authentically reported Hadith in the sanctified Sunnah (whatever is reported from the Prophet) that indicates the permissibility of placing both feet close together when standing in Salah or in prostration. Subsequently, the person offering Salah should not exaggerate in drawing their feet close together or in separating them. In fact, they should be placed in a manner between the two extremes.May Allah grant us success.
