The Requirement of Straightening the Back During Bowing
I raise my back during bowing but I cannot straighten it properly, without any medical condition. What is the ruling on that? And what is the requirement for straightening the back during bowing?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: The straightening of the back in bowing is among the recommended acts of prayer for men, while for women, it is sufficient for them to bow slightly; because it is more modest for them, and God knows best.
