The Prayer of a Sick Woman: Sitting After Standing in the First Rak'ah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This is a woman asking, and she says: A woman says the opening takbir, bows, prostrates, and prays the first rak'ah, but then she is unable to stand for the other rak'ah, so she completes the prayer while sitting because she is sick. Is her prayer in this state valid?
Answer:
Yes, her prayer is valid. She stands if she is able to stand, and she sits if she is unable to stand. There is nothing wrong with being unable to stand in one prayer,[At-Taghabun 64:16].
