Q
What is the recommended posture for sitting during prayer in Islam?
A
I saw `Abdullah bin `Umar crossing his legs while sitting in the prayer and I, a mere youngster in
those days, did the same. Ibn `Umar forbade me to do so, and said, “The proper way is to keep the
right foot propped up and bend the left in the prayer.” I said questioningly, “But you are doing so
(crossing the legs).” He said, “My feet cannot bear my weight.”
