Question:

What happens if both feet lift up during sajdah, (however not as long as three tabīiḥ)? If it is as long as three tasbīḥ then how is it?

Answer:

If both feet remained totally lifted from the ground for less than three (3) tasbīḥ, then he placed the toes of both or one foot (on the ground) then the ṣalāh is valid. If they (both feet) remained totally lifted (off the ground) for three (3) tasbīḥ, then the ṣalāh is not valid.

And Allāh Taʿālā knows best
