Question:
His third question says: A man gets tired when he walks to the prayer and rests on the way. He prays in the mosque while sitting, but if he prayed at home, he would pray standing. Which of the two should he do?
Answer:
One does not prioritize the performance of a pillar, because standing is a pillar. If he prays at home, he prays standing, and if he prays in the mosque, he prays sitting. Congregational prayer is obligatory, and standing is a pillar. A pillar is more emphasized than an obligation. So he prays in his home in order to pray it standing, instead of sitting. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
