Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The one who prays, O Shaykh, on a chair due to his inability, is his reward the same as that of the one who stands, or does this differ?
Answer:
If it is for an excuse, there is nothing wrong with it. If it is without an excuse, then if it is a voluntary prayer, this is permissible, but he gets half the reward of the one who stands, as in the hadith. As for if it is an obligatory prayer and he sat down for an excuse, he gets the reward of the one who stands with his intention. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
