[8/ 22] The sixth:

Some muslims make another mistake in Sal?t which is doing Tawarruk [i.e. sitting on the left hip putting the left foot under the right one] in the two Rak’ah Sal?t, such as the Fajr, the Friday and supererogatory Sal?t or abandoning it when needed in the three or four Rak’ahs Sal?t provided that one does not cause inconvenience to the one sitting next to him.
