As-salaamu 'alaykum

Okay akhi. JazzakAllah kheyr.

I'd also like to ask a couple of questions as well.

During sujud, your feet should be together and your toes should be pointing towards the Qibbla. However, I can't seem to make my pinky and the toe next to it to touch the ground, not to mention "curve it" so it points towards the Qibbla. Is this a requirement and am I excused?

The second question is; When you sit in between sujud and in the first and second Tashahhud, are your toes that belong to the right foot (that is supposed to be straigt-up during the sittings, as opposed to the left that you should sit on in the first Tashahhud and it should be below the backside of the left thigh during the second), supposed to point towards the Qibbla? I can make all the toes, including the pinky, point towards the Qibbla (during the first Tashahhud, not the second), but it is rather painful. Should I make them point towards the Qibbla although it is rather painful or am I excused (if the toes indeed are supposed to be pointing to the Qibbla)?
