The manner of praying while seated on a chair for one who is unable to prostrate
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Fahd al-Ghadir from Riyadh says: What are the postures of prayer on a chair for the one who cannot prostrate but can stand, yet he continues to sit in prayer?
Answer:
It is not permissible for him to sit in the place of standing if he is able to stand, for standing is a pillar of the prayer. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: So if he is able to stand and also able to bow, then it is obligatory for him to stand and bow. But if he is unable to prostrate, he sits on the chair and nods his head for the prostration. Yes.
