The ruling on praying on a raised chair

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, I pray behind an imam in the mosque on a chair, but this chair is somewhat high, so that my feet do not reach the ground. Is my prayer on this chair valid?

Answer:
No, if your feet are raised off the ground, it means that some of your limbs are elevated off the ground. So pray on a low chair such that your feet are on the ground, especially during the bowing and prostration. Yes.
