Rajaee Posted September 22 Share Posted September 22 To correctly perform "ruku" the following conditions must be met: In every rakʿah after qirāʾah, one must bend forward to the extent that he can place all his fingertips, including his thumb, on his knees. This action is called ‘rukūʿ’. If a person performs rukūʿ in an unusual manner – for example, he bends towards the left or right side, or he bends his knees forward – then even if his hands reach his knees, it is invalid. The bending forward must be done with the intention of performing rukūʿ; therefore, if it is done with some other intention – for example, to kill an animal – then one cannot consider it as rukūʿ. Instead, he must stand up straight and then bend forward again for rukūʿ; by doing this, a rukn is not added and the prayer does not become invalid. One who performs rukūʿ while sitting must bend forward to the extent that his face is positioned directly opposite his knees; and it is better that he bends forward to the extent that his face is positioned directly opposite the place of sajdah.
