The ruling on the prayer of a sick person on a chair if the doctor has determined it for him
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If the doctor sees that the sick person should pray all the prayers sitting or on a chair, is that permissible for him? And does the reward include him?
Answer:
Yes, if the doctor determines that he should pray sitting, then he prays sitting and standing is dropped from him. He is excused for leaving off standing because the doctor has determined it for him, and the doctor sees that standing harms him. His standing in prayer harms him or increases his illness, so he prays sitting. This is based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) Yes.

The sick person prays standing. If he cannot, then he prays sitting. If he cannot, then he prays on his side.
يصلي المريض قائما، فإن لم يستطع فقاعدا، فإن لم يستطع فعلى جنب.
