What is the obligatory position for the fingers of the hands during prostration (sujud) and how is it performed? What is the ruling on prostrating on a barrier, such as clothing, on the forehead? And how can a woman who leaves home before Fajr to reach her work solve the problem of missing the prayer time?

It is recommended to press the fingers together and direct them towards the Qibla during prostration (sujud). However, this is not obligatory according to the majority of scholars, except for the forehead. As for the Hanbalis, they consider it obligatory to prostrate on the seven limbs (including the hands), and the obligation is fulfilled in their view even by part of the hand. It is permissible to prostrate on an attached barrier, such as a garment.

A traveler who fears that the prayer time will expire and cannot perform it with all its complete pillars should pray in their current state. However, they must ask the driver to stop to perform the prayer within its prescribed time if possible. If the travel is daily, it is considered permanent travel, and it has its own specific rulings.
