CONDITIONS OF SALAH; SITTING DURING PRAYERS

The basic principle concerning the prayer of one
who is sick is that he should do whatever he is
able to of the essential parts of the prayer, and he
does not have to do what he is unable to do. This
is indicated by a great deal of evidence from the
Qur’an and Sunnah.
Allah says;
“So keep your duty to Allah and fear Him as much
as you can”
[64:16]
“Allah burdens not a person beyond his scope”
[2:286]
And the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be
upon him) said:
“If I command you to do a thing, then do as much
of it as you can.”
(Bukhari; 7288 & Muslim; 1337)
It was narrated that ‘Imraan ibn Husayn (may
Allah be pleased with him) said: “I was suffering
from haemorrhoids and I asked the Prophet (peace
and blessings of Allah be upon him) about praying.
He said,
‘Pray standing, and if you cannot, then sitting
down, and if you cannot, then lying on your side.’”
(Bukhari; 1117)
Allah (Exalted is He) is our creator, Allah has
therefore chosen for us a religion best suited to the
nature of mankind, a religion that goes neither to
the extremes of hardship nor of laxity, but instead
provides a middle path; in other words, a religion of
ease. Allah says;
"Allah intends for you ease, and does not want to
make things difficult for you" [2:185]; and "Allah
does not want to place you in difficulty" [5:6].
Such easiness is well explained in the hadeeth
reported by Abu Hurairah, radiya Allahu 'anhu, that
the Prophet (peace be upon him), said, "Religion is
easy..." [Bukhari], he also said; "The best of your
religion, is the easiest." [Ahmad]
How much Allah has favoured us, yet we fail to
please him.. There is no excuse to miss our salah
brothers and sisters.. There is no excuse.
Spread the knowledge so it will be Sadqa-e-Jaaria
for you and for me... In'Shaa'Allah.
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said:
“Whoever directs someone to a good, then he will
have the reward equal to the doer of the
action.” [Muslim 1893]
