The Ruling on the Prayer of a Sick Person on a Chair
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A sick man prays sitting on a chair, sometimes standing, and sometimes he recites the final tashahhud while standing and then says the taslim. Is his prayer valid? I hope you will clarify how to pray while sitting on a chair?
Answer:
This depends on his condition. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The sick person prays standing; if he cannot, then sitting; if he cannot, then on his side. The sick person prays according to his condition. If he is able to stand, he must stand, because it is a pillar. If he is able to bow and prostrate, he must bow and prostrate. If he is able to stand but cannot bow or prostrate, he sits on a chair or on the ground and gestures with his bowing and prostration.
