The questioner : If he does not lean on the tents, meaning, does he lean on a cane or on the wall? Meaning, if he leans on the cane, he leans.
The Shaykh : If the person is able to stand, whether leaning on the wall or on the pillar, or holding on to one of the people, then whenever he is able to stand, even in any condition, it is obligatory for him to do so. They even said that if he is able to stand, even if he is like one in ruku' (bowing), meaning bent over, he must stand.
The questioner : The support was not mentioned. The word.
The Shaykh : Standing is sufficient, standing is sufficient.
