May 29, 2024 | Salaah

QUESTION:

Is it permissible to begin Salaah while standing, and after the first Rakaat, one sits and complete the remainder of the Salaah due to weakness, knee problems, etc.?

ANSWER:

Yes, it will be permissible to do so. [Re: Kitaabun Nawaazil Vol:5 Pg:480]

بَابُ صَلَاةِ الْمَرِيضِ (إذَا عَجَزَ الْمَرِيضُ عَنْ الْقِيَامِ صَلَّى قَاعِدًا يَرْكَعُ وَيَسْجُدُ) «لِقَوْلِهِ – عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ – لِعِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ – رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ – صَلِّ قَائِمًا، فَإِنْ لَمْ تَسْتَطِعْ فَقَاعِدًا، فَإِنْ لَمْ تَسْتَطِعْ فَعَلَى الْجَنْبِ تُومِئُ إيمَاءً» ؛ وَلِأَنَّ الطَّاعَةَ بِحَسَبِ الطَّاقَةِ. (فَإِنْ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ الرُّكُوعَ وَالسُّجُودَ أَوْمَأَ إيمَاءً) يَعْنِي قَاعِدًا؛ لِأَنَّهُ وُسْعُ مِثْلِهِ (فتح القدير ج٢ص٣)
