Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The reality is, Abu Sulayman, the Shaykh also pointed out an important note or point. He says: Some people, when they rise from prostration to standing with difficulty, begin reciting al-Fatihah before they are fully standing. Is their prayer valid?
Answer:
In voluntary prayer, there is no harm. But in the obligatory prayer, one does not begin al-Fatihah until he is firmly standing, unless he is unable to stand. In that case, there is no harm in praying while sitting and reciting al-Fatihah while sitting. Yes.
