Is sitting in the tawba' position obligatory for one who prays while seated?

The questioner : Yes. If someone says that the statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), "Pray while seated," is specific to the validity of the prayer, we say that this is not permissible because there is no evidence for it. What do we say?

The Shaykh : We say that his statement, "Pray while seated," is in the context of explanation, and since he did not restrict it to the tawba' position, this indicates that it is not obligatory. A moment. Not everyone sees him doing it. Not everyone refers to it.
