The answer

If a worshiper lifts their hands or brings them back after prostrating, this does not invalidate the pillar, because prostration was achieved by placing them down. However, this action should not be done because it goes against the Sunnah. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "I have been commanded to prostrate on seven bones: on the forehead—and he pointed with his hand to his nose—the hands, the knees, and the ends of the feet, and not to tuck up clothes or hair."
