The Obligation of Performing Prayer
I was pregnant 15 years ago and it was a tiring pregnancy, so I prayed while sitting down, and until now I mostly pray while sitting, sometimes due to laziness. What is the ruling on my prayers? Do I need to repeat them?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: Standing in the obligatory prayer is a pillar for those who are able to do so, and the prayer is not valid without standing. You must repeat the prayers in which you neglected the pillar of standing out of laziness, and God knows best.
