Issue No.940- It is obligatory to stand straight after the completion of rukū‘, and after the body has become still, one should go to sajdah. And if one abandons this intentionally, his prayer will be void, but if it is abandoned unintentionally there will be no problem in it.
Issue No.949- While in sajdah, if one is not uttering the dhikr, he can lift or move some of the seven limbs of sajdah, other than the forehead, and then place them back again, but this is not permitted while uttering the dhikr.
Issue No.950- After the first sajdah, one should sit up until the body becomes still, and then perform sajdah again.
Issue No.952- When a person places his forehead, by mistake, on a place that is higher or lower than four joined fingers compared to the place where his knees and toes rest, if it is so high that it could not be called a sajdah, he should raise his head and place it on a point whose height is less than four joined fingers. But, if the height is to the extent that it is still called a sajdah, it is obligatory to drag his forehead [while connected to the ground], to a place which is equal to four joined fingers or less [in height]. If this is not possible, the obligatory precaution is that he should complete his prayer and reoffer it.
Issue No.953- It is necessary that the forehead is placed on a thing upon which performing sajdah is correct. This issue will be explained later inshallah. And if there is an obstacle in between which impedes the skin to reach the turbah [earthen tablet] like one’s hair or the filth on the turbah, the sajdah is void. However, it does not harm if the colour of the turbah has changed.
Issue No.955- As an obligatory precaution, in sajdah, a person should place the tip of his two big toes on the ground and placing the other toes will not be sufficient. Similarly, if the big toes do not rest on the ground owing to the nails being long, the prayer is void as an obligatory precaution.
Issue No.960- If the forehead of a person is raised unintentionally from the place of sajdah and goes back, this is treated to be one sajdah whether he has recited the dhikr of sajdah or not. And if he raises his forehead intentionally before uttering the dhikr, his prayer will be void, otherwise, there will be no problem.
Issue No.964- Where there is no obligatory tashahhud after the second sajdah, it is better that one should sit for a moment before rising for the next rak‘at.
Issue No.968- It is permissible to perform sajdah on limestone and gypsum before or after they are baked, and it is also permissible to perform sajdah on brick, earthenware and cement.
Issue No.972- If the turbah sticks to the forehead in the first sajdah, it should be removed from the forehead for the second sajdah; otherwise, the prayer will be void as an obligatory precaution.
Issue No.974- If a person realises in the state of sajdah that he has placed his forehead on a thing on which sajdah is not allowed, he should, if possible, drag his forehead [while connected to the ground] and settle it on an object upon which sajdah is permissible. If it is not possible and the time is limited, he should act in accordance with the previous issue.
Issue No.975- If a person realises after the prayer or sajdah that he had placed his forehead on an object on which sajdah is not permissible, his prayer is correct.
