Does the method of sitting between the two prostrations differ between men and women, and what is the correct method for each?
A woman sits between the two prostrations exactly as a man sits, and she does not differ from him in prayer except in clothing and audible recitation. Abu Hanifa and Al-Shafi'i are of the opinion that a woman should sit in the most comfortable way for her. It is preferable for her to sit on her left foot, keep her right foot upright, and point her toes towards the ; otherwise, she may sit in whatever way is easy for her. Some scholars hold that she differs from a man in prostration; it is recommended for a man to keep his thighs apart and his hands away from his knees, whereas a woman should draw herself together and contract, exaggerating in her concealment.
