Should Knees or Hands Touch the Ground First While Going into Sujood?

Fatwa by: Former Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia, Sheikh Ibn Baz (رحمہ اللہ)

Question:​

When going into Sujood (prostration), is it more correct to place the knees on the ground first or the hands?

Answer:​

The more correct approach is to first place the knees on the ground, followed by the hands, and then the face. This is supported by the Hadith of Sayyidina Wa'il (رضی اللہ عنہ) and other similar narrations that convey the same meaning.
