Placement of feet while seated in prayer


Question

How should our feet be positioned at the times when we are seated during our prayers?

Answer

Two types of sitting were related from the Prophet (peace be upon him) during prayer. The first type of sitting is the one after completing two units of prayer. The worshipper rests on his left foot and raises his right foot pointing it towards Qiblah. This is known as iftirâsh

The second type of sitting comes in the final sitting of the three and four units’ prayers. The worshipper should sit on his posterior, extend the left leg out from his body from the right side and erect the right foot and point it towards the Qiblah. This is known as tawarruk

The way you sit after two units is the same for all prayers. The only difference is in the final sitting of three and four unit prayers.

And Allah knows best.
