The ruling on praying standing while leaning against a wall
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If a man prays standing but is leaning against a wall, is his prayer valid?
Answer:
If it is for an excuse, there is nothing wrong with it. If it is for an excuse, meaning he can only stand by leaning, such as if he stands on a cane, there is nothing wrong with it. But if it is without an excuse, it is not permissible, because he is not considered to be standing. If he is leaning against a wall without an excuse, he is not considered to be standing, so this does not count.
