The ruling on praying Tarawih sitting on a chair
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
I pray Tarawih, and my back gets a bit stiff, so I sit on a chair and prostrate with them, except that the standing on the chair is too much.
The Shaykh:
There is nothing wrong with that. If you need to sit, there is nothing wrong with that.
The questioner:
All your life, and age requires a mu'adhdhin and a bite to eat; do I move it or do I finish?
The Shaykh:
I say that for the voluntary prayer, it is permissible to pray it standing or sitting. But if you have no excuse, you get half the reward of the one who stands. As for if you have an excuse, you get the full reward.
