Praying Standing While Leaning on a Wall
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
It was said to the Shaykh: May Allah reward you, if a man prays standing but is leaning on a wall, is his prayer valid?
Answer:
If it is for an excuse, there is no harm. If he has an excuse and cannot stand except by leaning, such as if he stands on a cane, there is no harm. But if it is without an excuse, it is not permissible, because he is not considered to be standing if he is leaning on the wall without an excuse. In that case, it does not count as standing for him. Yes.
