Bayhaqi Q3197 — It is recommended for a woman not to keep her limbs

قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ النَّخَعِيُّ: كَانَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ تُؤْمَرُ إِذَا سَجَدَتْ أَنْ تَلْزِقَ بَطْنَهَا بِفَخِذَيْهَا كَيْلَا تَرْتَفِعَ عَجُزَتُهَا وَلَا تَجَافِيَ كَمَا يُجَافِي الرَّجُلُ".
Ibrahim al-Nakha'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "The woman used to be commanded, when she prostrates, to press her stomach against her thighs so that her buttocks are not raised, and not to keep (her limbs) apart in the way a man keeps them apart."
