Your Eminence! A Muslim prays standing, and if he is unable, he prays sitting, and if he is unable, he prays on one of his sides, and if he is unable, he lies on his back. If he is unable to do so, how does he pray?
Some scholars say: He prays with his eyes, indicating with his eyes that he is bowing by closing them slightly, and in prostration, he closes them more.
And some said: No.
This is only mentioned in a weak hadith, so it is not to be relied upon. He prays with his heart—Meaning: He intends the takbir of ihram—So he says: Allahu Akbar,He recites, then intends to bow, so he says takbir and says: Subhan Rabbi al-Azim,Then he intends to rise and says: Sami' Allahu li man hamidah;By the saying of Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He): [al-Taghābun: 16] .
