2802 The Ruling on Praying on a Chair
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I am disabled, as I have an amputation of my right leg and wear a prosthetic leg above the knee. He says: I do not pray standing, but rather I pray on a chair. And when I remove the prosthetic leg outside of working hours, I pray sitting on the ground so that I can prostrate. His question is: Is my practice valid? And if it is not valid, what is the correct way to do it?
Answer:
If he needs the prosthetic leg, he wears it and prays on a chair. But if he does not need it, he prays on the ground, sitting on the ground and not on the chair, because he is not in need of it.
