The prayer of a sick man with his brothers sitting in the house

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A sick man says: I prayed with my brothers in the house, sitting, and they were sitting behind me, because I am the most proficient of them in reciting the Book of Allah.

Answer:
No, this is not for a regular imam. This is only suitable for a regular imam whose impediment is expected to end. A regular imam whose ailment is expected to end prays sitting, and they pray behind him sitting. As for anyone other than a regular imam, no, this was only done with the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), and he was the regular imam. Yes.
