Leaning the back in prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the questioner says: If I pray the obligatory prayer while sitting, is it permissible for me to lean my back against the wall, or is that not permissible?

Answer:
It is not permissible to lean the back except in cases of inability. If you need to lean your back, there is no harm. However, without need, it is not permissible. Yes.
