The Leading of a Seated Person in Prayer

Question:
This is a question that was asked previously in this episode. He says: What is the ruling on a seated person leading people in prayer?

Answer:
This is not permissible because his excuse is permanent, and it is not permissible for him to be an imam for people because he is unable to perform one of the pillars of prayer, which is standing. The imam of the healthy is the regular imam; if he falls ill and it is expected that he will recover and become well, it is not permissible for him to lead them, even if he is sitting, but they pray behind him while sitting, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) instructed his Companions when he prayed with them while sitting due to illness; he gestured to them to sit. May Allah reward you. As for the one whose condition is temporary, as for the one whose condition is permanent and whose recovery is not expected, he does not become an imam.
