How low do I have to bow when making ruku?

Writer: John StarlingJohn Starling

Q: How low do I have to bow when making ruku?

 

A: The minimum required position for ruku/bowing is to bend low enough for the hands of a man of average height and size to touch his knees. It is however preferred to bow low enough for your back to be parallel with the ground.
