The general rule is that women should make sujood exactly like men.. Some scholars stated that a woman should keep her limbs close to her body during ruku` and sujud, and not spread them out, because this is more modest and covering.

According to Shafi`i scholars, there is no difference between men and women in prayer, except that women should keep the parts of their bodies close to one another, and they should make their stomachs touch their thighs during sujud. This is more covering and preferable, in ruku` and the rest of the prayer too.
