When in Sajdah, the feet should be placed on the ground, close to each other with the heels touching and the toes facing towards the Qiblah.(Shaami vol.1 pg.476/504
Female
The feet will be placed on the ground outwards, facing towards the right. The feet should not be kept upright. However, the toes should face the Qibla. [ Behishti Zewar Page 159]

Is Nutmeg Permissible?
Question: Is it permissible to consume Nutmeg?
Answer: The nutmeg tree is used as a kind of spice which gives food a fragrant smell and delicious taste. The ancient Egyptians used it as a medicine for stomach disease and to expel wind.
Using a little bit of the nutmeg for seasoning is permissible, but using a great deal of it is impermissible since it could lead to intoxication, and Islam has forbidden all intoxicants and stupefacients.

How Many Rakaats Will A Lady Read At Her Parents Home
Question: After getting married, does a lady read full Salaah or Qasar Salaah by her parents home?
Answer: After a woman gets married , her husbands home becomes her new place of residence.
When traveling to her parents home, if it is 78 kilometer or more from the boundary of the suburb where she resides to the residence of her parents, then she will be considered a traveler if she intends to stay there less than 15 days.
In that instance, she will make Qasr and perform two rakaats salaah in Zohar, Asr and Esha.

Sajdah of Shukar
Question: What is Sajdah Shukar, what are the benefits and how is it performed?
Answer: It is imperative for every believer to continuously display gratitude to Almighty Allah for the numerous bounties that Almighty Allah continues to confer upon every one of us, all the time.
Be that as it may, when a person is bestowed with a bounty or receives some good news then one of the ways of displaying gratitude is to perform two Rakaats of Salaah of Shukr.
Raasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam performed two Rakaats Salaah of Shukar upon the conquest of Makkah Mukarramah.
If for some reason one is not able to perform two Rakaats Salaah of Shukar then it is Mustahab (recommended) to make a Sajdah of Shukar.
The prerequisites and conditions of the Sajah of Shukar are the same as those of Salaah and Sajdah Tilawah.
One is required to have Wudhu and the Sajdah will be made in the direction of the Qibla.
Commencing with Takbeer, a person will go into Sajdah, praise Almighty Allah, recite the Tasbeeh of Sajdah and then, after some time, rise up from Sajdah saying Takbeer again.
With this, the Sajdah of Shukar will be completed.
Sajdah of Shukar should not be performed during Sunrise, Zawaal and at Sunset. It is Makrooh to perform it after any Salaah. [Radul Muhtaar Vol 2 Page 120]
When a person expresses Shukr to Allah Taáala , Allah Taáala increases his bounties upon that person.
