The Ruling on the Sitting for Rest
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner asks: What is the ruling on the sitting for rest between the rak'ahs during the obligatory and voluntary prayers?
Answer:
This was reported from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), and there is a hadith regarding it. However, some scholars say it is a recommended practice (sunnah), that it is a recommended practice, while others say no, it is not a recommended practice, but rather it is for the sake of need. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not do it except when his body became heavy, so he did it out of need, not because it is a recommended practice. It is permissible only for the sake of need, and this is the closest view, and Allah knows best. Yes.
