Question :

How does the person praying  perform the prostration (Sujud)?



The Answer :

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon our Master, the Messenger of Allah.

 

It is an act of Sunnah for the person praying to descend for prostration (Sujud) by placing their knees first, then placing their hands on the ground, and then placing their nose and forehead simultaneously. It is obligatory that the toes of the feet be on the ground, directed towards the Qibla. And Allah the Exalted knows best.
