Question

What is the recommended distance that there should be between the feet of a person praying alone?

Answer


 
It is sunna that the feet be apart as much as a handspan during the standing position and the prostration, as our imams have said.

- Amjad Rasheed
(Translated by Shazia Ahmad)

السؤال: ما هي المسافة المسنونة التي ينبغي أن تكون موجودة بين رجلي المصلي حين يصلي منفرداً ؟

الجواب : يسنُّ أن يباعد المصلي بين قدميه عند القيام والسجود قدرَ شبر كما صرح به أئمتنا
