Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. A questioner from the mosque congregation says: A sick man is unable to bow or prostrate, but he is able to stand and walk. When he prays, he stands only in the first rak'ah and sits in the remaining rak'ahs. Is this permissible?
Answer:
If he is unable to stand for the entire prayer, there is no harm in him resting in some of it, if he needs the rest.
