Keeping the back stright in ruku'

Q: Sometimes in rukoo' I do the thikr and then I straighten myself a bit and hear a crack, so does that mean my back only became straight when it cracked? If so do I do the thikr again? Must the back in sujood rukoo sitting and standing always be straight or at ease straight? Is the neck or head considered in this?

A:

1. No
2. All the limbs should be at ease at the time one performs these posture in their correct manner.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
