Both feet coming off the ground in sajda

Question

If, while praying, both feet come off the ground in sajda, does the prayer become fasid (invalid) or not? References to books and pages are necessary; please also be sure to set out the juristic view of some faqih on this issue.

Answer

By doing so the sajda will not be valid, and when the sajda is not valid, the prayer is not valid. [ar]وفي مختصر الكرخي: سجد ورفع أصابع رجليه عن الأرض لا تجوز[/ar] “In al-Karkhi’s Mukhtasar: [if] he prostrated and lifted the toes of his feet from the ground, [the sajda] is not valid” (“al-Ghunya”, p. 280).
