Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. In voluntary prayer, if a person prays while sitting, is it better for him to sit in the tawqif position or to sit as one sits between the two prostrations?
Answer:
It is all permissible, praise be to Allah. If he wishes, he may sit in the tawqif position, and if he wishes, he may sit with one leg tucked under him or with both legs extended to the left. There is no impediment. Yes.
