The ruling on a disabled person leading the prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it valid for a disabled person to lead the prayer if he is the one who recites best?
Answer:
No, except with someone like him. If the disabled person is unable to perform some of the pillars, such as being unable to stand and only praying while sitting, or being unable to prostrate on the ground, then his leading is only valid with someone like him. As for the able-bodied person, it is not permissible for him to pray behind a disabled person who is unable to perform a pillar of the prayer or an obligatory part of it. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
