Where should a woman place her hands in prayer (whilst standing)?

5 Sept 2013

Question

Should women place their hands on their chests or below their chests during prayer?

Answer

Women should place their hands just below their chests during the prayer.

Shaykh Abdul Ghani al-Ghanimi writes, “and women should place palm (right) over palm (left) below the chest.”
