Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Some of the worshippers pray on a chair, and the chair is positioned forward, which causes this worshipper to be ahead of the others. What should be done regarding these chairs, and where should they be placed?
Answer:
Chairs are not to be used except out of necessity, or one should pray according to his ability. Pray according to your ability.[Al-Baqarah 2:286] And if this happens with the chair being forward, it is not intentional; it is not intentional. Yes. So do not be strict about this, but strive to ensure the chairs are light and appropriate, not large and bulky.
