Question:-

What is the correct position of the shins in ruku’? Are they supposed to be perfectly straight? Or may they be at an angle?

Also, how far apart from the head should the hands be kept in sajdah?

What is the correct method?

Answer:-

1. The shin should be kept straight in Ruku. [Re:- Aap Ke Masaa’il Aur Unka Hal Pg.359 Vol.3]

2. The head should be kept between both the hands in Sajdah which should be in line with the ears. There is no mention of how far apart from the ears the hands should be placed. [Re:- Behishti Zewar Pg. 17]
