Does excessive movement after rising from rukoo' (bowing) contradict tranquility (ṭuma'nīnah), knowing that the worshipper remains standing for a period longer than the duration of one tasbeeh (subhanallah)?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The definition of tranquility (ṭumaʾnīnah) is the stillness and settling of the limbs for a period of time. This is achieved by merely the worshiper's stillness in a pillar [of prayer], even for a short while. Moving the hand or foot does not contradict tranquility nor does it affect the validity of the prayer, because it is considered a slight movement that is pardoned.
