The prayer of one who prays on a chair and is unable to stand
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks about the ruling on the prayer of those who use chairs, if they are unable to stand, but they can bow and prostrate. Does their prayer become invalid if they do not prostrate or bow in the known manner?
Answer:
Those who use chairs and others who are bedridden do what they are able to do. And what they are not able to do, Allah forgives them for it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The sick person prays, and if he cannot, then lying on his back with his feet toward the qiblah. So he does what he is able to do of the pillars, and what he is not able to do is dropped from him. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
