Sujood on a Chair in Prayer
A woman who can stand and bow in prayer, but cannot prostrate, is it permissible for her to sit on a chair during prostration only?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It is permissible for her to read the list and gesture for prostration while seated on the chair if she is unable to prostrate. It is also permissible for her to perform all her prayers while seated on the chair with gestures, and God knows best.
