Fathwa, - Picking up Objects During Prayer

Question:
O Eminent Shaykh, a manpraying Salaatul-Dhuhr drops his handkerchief
while he is standing so he bends down and grabs the handkerchief, is
his prayer invalidated by this movement?
Answer:
Yes, his prayer is invalidated by this movement; because when he makes
Rukooý he bends down until he reaches the point of the Rukooý, but he
has (now) increased the Rukooý (i.e. gone past the Rukooý point to
grab his handkerchief oradded another Rukooý). However, if he has done
so out of ignorance thenthere is nothing upon him due to the
generality of His, Exalted be He, statement: ýOur Lord, punish us not
if weforget or fall into error.ý[Sooratul-Baqarah 2: 286] Due to this,
if you drop a handkerchief or key while you are standing in prayer
then leave it until you reach itin sujood or pick it up with your
foot. If you are able to stand on one foot, then get it with your foot
then grab it (from your foot) with your hand. As for the person
bending down tograb it from the ground wherein the rukooý would be
closer to it than the qiyaam, then this is not permissible.
