The Criterion for the Prayer of Those Who Pray on Chairs
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: What is the criterion for the prayer of those who pray on chairs? Is praying on the ground better? I ask for a detailed explanation because this is common in mosques.
Answer:
One prays on the chair unless he is unable to sit on the ground. One does not pray on the chair unless he is unable to sit on the ground. Praying on the chair is permissible. He performs the bowing and prostration while on the chair, and he makes his prostration lower than his bowing. Yes.
