Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: If one prays on a chair, is he required to stand and say the Takbir of Intention while standing, and then sit down? If one prays on a chair, is it obligatory for him to stand for the Takbir of Intention, and then may he sit down afterward?
Answer:
No, if he is able to stand, he must stand for the duration of reciting Surat al-Fatihah, and then sit down. This is a pillar: the pillar of standing for the duration of reciting Surat al-Fatihah. Yes.
