Answer

1. Yazid ibn Abi Habib (Radhiallaahu Anhu) reports that the Prophet (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) passed by two women who were praying Salaat. He said, ?When you prostrate, let part of your body cling to the earth, for women are unlike men in this regard.?%0D%0A%0D%0A2. Sayyiduna ibn Umar (Radhiallaahu Anhu) narrates that the Prophet (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, ?When a woman sits in Salaat, she should place one thigh over the other, and when she prostrates she should press her stomach to her thighs in a manner that is the most concealing for her. Indeed Allah looks at her saying, ?Oh my angels! I make you witness that I have forgiven her.?%0D%0A%0D%0A3. Hadhrat Ali (Radhiallaahu Anhu) says, ?When a woman prostrates she should no Ihtifaaz and press her thighs together.? And in Abdul-Razzaak?s narration ?press her thighs against her stomach.?%0D%0A%0D%0Aand Allah Ta'ala Knows Best%0D%0A%0D%0AMoulana Muhammad ibn Moulana Haroon Abbassommar%0D%0AFACULTY OF SPECIALTY IN HADITH%0D%0A%0D%0ACHECKED AND APPROVED: Mufti Ebrahim Desai
