Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q445: The questioner says: My wife is pregnant, and it is very difficult for her to stand, bow, and prostrate in prayer. Is it permissible for her to pray on a chair or while sitting, and is it permissible for her to indicate the bowing and prostration with her head? May Allah reward you with good.
A445: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Abi Dawud 952Sahih (Al-Albani) meaning: in your current state,
she should indicate the bowing and prostration with her head, and her prostration should be lower than her bowing. This woman should pray according to her ability, whether she sits on the ground or on a chair, if she needs to.
A445: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
offer prayer in standing condition; if you are unable to do so, then in sitting condition: if you are then at your side
صل قائمًا، فإن لم تستطع فقاعداً، فإن لم تستطع فعلى جنبshe should indicate the bowing and prostration with her head, and her prostration should be lower than her bowing. This woman should pray according to her ability, whether she sits on the ground or on a chair, if she needs to.
