Both feet lifting off the ground in sajda

Question

If, while performing sajda, both feet are lifted off the ground, will the prayers be valid or not?

Answer

If the toes of both feet remain completely lifted off the ground, the sajda will not be valid, and since the sajda is not valid, the prayer will not be valid either (“Tahtawi”, p. 126).
