In what way is sajda different for men and women?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
My question is regarding doing sajda in salah (namaz). Please tell me that what is difference between men and women when they doing sajda? Can a woman do sajda like that of a man or not?

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

(Fatwa: 911/855/M=8/1439)

There is difference in the postures of sajdah for man and woman. A man should keep his stomach away from his thighs and the arms from the sides while elbows and wrists above the ground, whereas a woman should attach her stomach with her thighs and arms with her armpit and her elbows and wrists to the ground compressing herself to the core. It is makrooh and against sunnah for women to perform sajdah like men.

Allah knows Best!
