Ruling on the Prayer of One Sitting When There is No Place to Prostrate

Question
Is it valid for a man to pray sitting if there is no place to prostrate, such as praying on the stairs for example?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: In severe congestion, it is permissible to prostrate on the back of the person in front of you and on the stairs, and God knows best.
