What is the criterion for light and non-light reliance in standing

Question : What is the criterion for light and non-light reliance? They said: If it is such that if the thing he is leaning on is removed, he would fall, then it is not light. Is that right or not? And if it is such that if it is removed, he would not fall, then it is light. If a person says this is not a fixed criterion, because if one person wakes up, he does not fall, but if he does not wake up, he falls, even if his reliance is light, what is the answer?

Answer : Yes, we say the criterion is the criterion of this reliance bearing the weight. If it is bearing your weight, then you are not standing. If it is not bearing your weight, then you are standing. This is the measure. However, some scholars said that the generality of the saying of Allah the Exalted, "Stand before Allah and bow down" and "Pray standing," includes even one who relies on something that would fall if removed, meaning it is permissible to rely on it. But our jurists (may Allah have mercy on them) say it is not permissible to rely on something with strong reliance such that one would fall if it were removed. They explained this by saying that it removes the hardship of standing. That is, it is as if he is in a state of standing, as if he is lying on his back on this wall, on this wall.
