He asks: Is the sitting of rest performed if the imam does not perform it?
Answer:
The sitting of rest is for the one who needs it, such as a sick person or an elderly person, even if the imam does not perform it. As for the strong person, he does not perform the sitting of rest, as it is not prescribed for the strong person; rather, it is permissible for the one who needs it due to old age or illness.
