He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If it is difficult for a person to stand and sit in the prayer, is it permissible for him to sit on the ground so that he can perform prostration, or is it better or preferable for him to stand and sit on a chair and then gesture for prostration?
The Shaykh:
Can he manage to stand? What is the situation?
