The Ruling on the Sitting for Rest
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on the sitting of rest?
Answer:
The correct view is that it is not an act of worship, but rather for the sake of need. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) only did it at the end of his life when the prayer became heavy for him (peace and blessings be upon him). So it is for the sake of need. Whoever needs it does it, and whoever does not need it, it is not a recommended practice.
