Question:
When a person is leaning on his hand, it is called the sitting of those upon whom anger has been invoked. We want to understand from you: is this correct?

Answer:
Yes, the sitting should be in a good posture. Leaning on the hand, especially while eating, is disliked. Leaning on the hand while eating is disliked, and leaning on the hand while not eating, when a person is sitting, is not good, unless he needs to do so. If he is weak in his hand or has a defect in his body, there is no harm in doing so out of necessity. But if he does not need it, there is no good in it; rather, he should sit in the best posture, to the best extent. May Allah reward you with good.
