The validity of praying on a high chair
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This, Honorable Shaykh, he says: Given my health condition and my inability to stand, I pray with the imam of the mosque on a chair, but it is somewhat high, such that my feet do not reach the ground. Is my prayer valid on this chair?
Answer:
Your prayer is valid, if Allah wills, but it is better to lower the chair. You should pray on a low chair so that your feet are on the ground. This is what is better and more complete. Yes.
