Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is the sitting for rest in the prayer a recommended practice (sunnah), or is it merely permissible?
Answer:
It is correct that the sitting for rest is only for the elderly or the sick person who needs it, whereas the strong person does not do it, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not do it except when his body became heavy for him (peace and blessings be upon him) in the last part of his life; before that, he did not do it. Yes.
