this is right ya brother.. if the both of the feet is above the ground in sajdah,the pray is invalid.. When I first read this in an hadith I was afraid because I didnt pay attention to that before.. then while praying I focused on my feet and I saw it is allright..

fard of the sajdah : the both hands, knees, fronthead, nose and the both feet.. even if you just put one finger of one foot the sajdah is sahih, it is accepted..

To add to it:

It is obligatory that he is settled in his prostration. This comes
about by his resting equally on each of the parts of the body that
touch the ground when prostrating. These are: the forehead and the
nose - together, the two palms, the two knees and the toes of each
foot.
(102) So whoever settles in his prostration in this manner, then he
has certainly attained the stillness necessary. This stillness
(itmi'naan) in the prostration is a pillar also.(Sheikh Albani's Book).

If a person does not prostrate on all seven parts of the body, then his prayer is invalid
We see some worshippers lifting up one or both of their feet whilst prostrating. What is the ruling on this action?.

Praise be to Allaah.

When a worshipper prostrates, he must prostrate on all seven parts of the body on which the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) commanded us to prostrate. They are: the face, including the forehead and nose; the two hands; the two knees; and the edges of the two feet (i.e., the toes).

Al-Nawawi said: If he omits any of them, then his prayer is not valid. From Sharh Muslim.

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen said:

It is not permissible for a worshipper to lift up any of these seven parts of the body when prostrating, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “I have been commanded to prostrate on seven bones: on the forehead,” and he pointed to his nose, “and on the two hands, the two knees and the edges of the two feet (i.e., the toes).” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 812; Muslim, 490. If he lifts up one or both of his feet, or one or both of his hands, or his forehead or nose, or both of them, then his prostration is invalid and does not count, and if his prostration is invalid then his prayer is also invalid.

this is right ya brother.. if the both of the feet is above the ground in sajdah,the pray is invalid..

but in masjid, so many ppl raise their feet above ground.

does that mean all of them have invalidated their salah?

so why "in matter which invalidate salah"; this point is not mentioned?

its confusing!!

actually there isnt anything confusing and it is mentioning.. Only subtitle..

We know salaat has 12 fard .. 6 is out of salaat like clean, take wodou etc..
and 6 is inside of the salaat..
1-Niyyat (intention)
2-Tahrima (To say Allah Akbar)
3-Qiyam (Standing)
4-Qiraat (Recitation of Quran by mouth gently)
5-Ruku (To bow)
6-Sajda (Prostration) and -Qa'da-i- Akhira (Last sitting) ( and here sajdah has rule to be sahih, to be accepted.. and these are put your both hands, both knee, fronthead, nose and both feet on the groud../ Even if you just put one single finger it is accepted)


this is how I understood.

u said putting only a single finger makes it accepted.

but i read that if u raise ur feet for few seconds, the salah gets invalid.

that issue is troubling me!

no ya brother check the link that I put there .. it is writen like that

iii) It is fard to put two feet or at least one finger of any foot on the ground. If both the feet are not placed on ground, salaat will be annulled and not be accepted.
