If One’s Back Is Bent Due to Old Age or Diseases
Issue No.938- If a person’s back is bent due to old age or diseases or other reasons he should, at the time of performing prayer, straighten himself as much as possible, and if he is not able to do so, he should straighten himself a little before rukū‘ and then come back to the state of rukū‘, and if this is not possible either, he should bow a little more for rukū‘ provided that he does not exit the state of rukū‘. And if that is also not possible, he should, as an obligatory precaution, make an indication with his head for rukū‘ and also consider that state of his to be a part of rukū‘.
