Correction of Sajdah

1-Whilst going into sajdah from qaumah, do not bend the chest forward. Keep it straight. Only the knees should be bent while going down. Some people heave the chest due to which an extra ruku is created. This is forbidden.46 Until the knees have not been placed on the ground, avoid bending the top half of the body as far as possible.
2- Whilst going into sajdah, first place the hands on the knees, then place the knees on the ground. Thereafter, place the hand and finally place the forehead. The nose should also touch the ground with the forehead.

3- In sajdah, the fingers of both the hands should be kept close together. There should be no space between the fingers.
4- The tips of the all the fingers should face the Qibla, including the thumb. Special care should be taken regarding it.
5- Perform the sajdah brazenly (openly) i.e. keep the arms seperated from the sides. The sides should be apparent. Similarly keep the thighs away from the belly. The belly should not be supported by the sides.
6- The forearms should not be placed on the ground. Only the palms should touch the ground. The forearm will be raised.
7- In the fardh salaat, do not spread the arms out towards the left or right to such an extent that people performing salaat on either side are inconvenienced. Spread the arms only as much as one can.
8- Place the head between the hands in such a way that the tip of the thumbs are in line with the earlobe.
9- In sajdah the knees should be kept close together.
10- The toes should be bent, facing the Qibla. To keep the toes upright, facing the ground is contrary to the sunnah. The toes should face the Qibla.
11- Some people face the toes in the opposite direction of the Qibla. This is also incorrect.
12- Some people keep both the feet raised off the ground in sajdah. If this was done during the entire sajdah, it will nullify the Salaat.
13- Sajdah should be performed in accordance to the sunnat method.
14- Another sunnat of sajdah is that the heels should be kept together.54 The way to achieve this is that both feet should be kept close together and the heels and ankles should be joined. Both feet should be kept upright with the toes facing the Qibla.
