The ruling on leading prayer for one who is unable to prostrate on the ground
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, if the imam is in a state like his bowing, because he is unable to bring his feet forward, what is the ruling for the one being carried in that case? Noble. If the imam is in a state like his bowing, because he does not have anything from his feet, what is the ruling for the ma'mum in that case?
Answer:
Meaning he is unable to prostrate on the ground; the imam is unable to prostrate on the ground. It is not befitting for him to lead people in prayer; because he is incapable of a pillar of the prayer, which is prostrating on the seven limbs. So he prays as a ma'mum, and does not lead as an imam; because he is incapable of a pillar of the prayer.
