Although the robot doesn’t pray that correct, its still really amazing that some person actually designed this.

Leave it up to MR to find something like this LOL

I think this robot isn’t Hanafi hmmm? Hope this doesn’t cause any confusion on fiqh issues…
Now all we need is to get Muslims praying–looks like machines make better Muslims than people! !

What was it doing near the end after the salaam with it’s hand…like it was wiping it’s beard at 0:55 and then moving it’s hand like it was rapping or something at 1:00? Looks like the kuffar have influenced him!

its neither Hanbali or Shafi , we raise our hands to our chest, palms outwards when we get up from the knee prostration , the robot resembles more of a hanafi i think ……..

Other than the fact that he only does one Ruk’ah, checks himself for BO after finishing and then feels the need to applaud his own Salah, this seems to be a pretty decent Salah. Obviously only Allah (and the designer, I guess) know what his programmed intention is. Either way, this guy seems far better than the robot who leads Salah at [NAME OF MASJID REDACTED TO PREVENT FITNA]

Nah one rak’ah is Hanbali i thinks–Hanafis do 3.

I think we’ll eventually find a video of this robot break dancing on youtube oneday with a hijabi robot–than our opinion will change…

Can I get a bid’ah?

Oops, missed that it was Witr. Thought maybe he was following some chillin’ “double-traveler” shortening Math-hab. That would definitely be Bid’ah.

Maybe he’s just hugging his brothers after praying, and not applauding his own Salah.

Anyway, jazakAllah khayran MR, it was funny.

Salam,

hot video, the robot’s wudu breaks when the battery die’s, and I don’t know what he did at the end…Bida Yanee!!!

But we should make a robot that teachers people how to pray, you can buy it in all 4 madhabs… and they are all equally priced..ha.

He’s certainly Shafi’. He puts his hands above his belly button and one raka of witr is valid in the Shafi’ maddhab.

I hope my prayer is better than that robot’s…
