Question

Can i pray normally? Or should i ask my doctor? I am pregnant right now. Is it safe for me to pray in the normal way? Can there be any harm to the baby if I go into Sajda as my stomach gets pressed too much. Jazak Allah

Answer

You should consult your doctor and follow his/her advise.

In principle, if it is harmful to go into Sajdah, then you may sit and perform Salaat and make Sajdah through Ishaarah (indication).

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

Ask AskImam

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
