Fatwa #157017 November 2000Pakistan

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.
