Question

Some shafi women place their feet so that they point backwards. I was under the impression that every part of our body including our feet should face Qiblah and that our stomachs should press against the thighs so as 2 be as contracted as possible.

Answer

Your understanding of the womans posture in sajda is correct.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
