The Prayer of the Sick
In the prayer of a sick person who cannot prostrate, if he is able to stand and bow, is it permissible for him to sit and bow on a chair or not? And does the sick person start the prayer sitting or standing and then sit?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: The patient who cannot prostrate prays sitting down, thus standing is waived due to the inability to prostrate, and it is permissible to begin standing or sitting, and God.
