Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Does the one who prays on a chair, when he wants to prostrate while on his chair, place his hands on his thighs or lower them to the ground when prostrating?
The Shaykh:
He prostrates on the ground while on the chair; he does not descend from the chair. If he is on the chair, he places his hands on his thighs.
The questioner:
He says: Does the one who prays on a chair, when he wants to prostrate while on the chair, place his hands on his thighs, or lower them to the ground when he wants to prostrate?
The Shaykh:
It depends on what is easier for him, what is easier for him. If it is easier for him to place them on his thighs, or if it is easier for him to place them on the ground, he follows what is easier for him. Yes.
