Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If a person prays sitting on a chair because he is only unable to stand for a long time, is it obligatory for him to stand up to bow and prostrate on the ground as well, in the case of the obligatory prayer?
Answer:
Yes, in the obligatory prayer, if he is able to stand when bowing, before bowing, for the length of reciting al-Fatihah, he should stand before bowing, before reciting al-Fatihah, and bow from a standing position, and it is obligatory for him to do so. But if he is unable and it is difficult for him, he may bow while sitting, and there is no harm in that. Yes.
