Can a person continue to perform prayer if he/she stumbles and falls down while praying?
The Answer

Dear Brother / Sister,

Falling down in prayer does not harm the prayer. A person who falls down while praying for any reason, can resume praying if he/she stands up immediately. There is no need to do anything else in such a situation. However if some time elapses long enough to perform a rukn (about saying subhanallah three times (Glory be to Allah), it is necessary to perform sajdah as-sahw.
