What is the ruling on one of a worshiper's limbs moving involuntarily during prayer?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The movement made by a man does not invalidate the prayer as long as it is not excessive to the point of being considered much action. The same applies if it is excessive but not by choice. The distinction between a little action and much action is determined by common custom.
