Question:
What is the stronger position regarding the sitting of rest?
Answer:
The stronger position, and Allah knows best, is that it is not prescribed. A person only does it if he needs to, if he is sick, heavy-bodied, or advanced in age and needs it, he does it. But if he does not need it, it is not a sunnah (recommended practice). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did it when he became heavy; he did it out of necessity.
