The prayer of one who finds it difficult to stand, and she is sitting
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This sister says: I am able to bow and prostrate, but I find it difficult to stand because of a chronic nerve condition, so I pray while sitting. Is my prayer valid?
Answer:
Yes, if you pray while sitting due to illness or an inability to stand, there is nothing wrong with that. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The sick person prays, and if he cannot do so, he prays lying on his back with his feet facing the qiblah. The religion is easy, and praise be to Allah. This indicates that the prayer is not left under any circumstances as long as the mind remains, as long as his mind is sound, he does not leave the prayer, but he prays according to his condition, [Al-Baqarah 2:286]. Yes.
