Q 3: What is the ruling on
making many unnecessary movements during Salah (Prayer)?
Do they nullify Salah? If so, how many movements do so?
A:
Khushu‘ (the heart being attuned to the act of worship) is enjoined during Salah, while making unnecessary movements in it is Makruh (disliked). Moreover, if a person makes many unnecessary and successive movements which are irrelevant to the acts of Salah; this will nullify their Salah as it contradicts Khushu‘.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
