Bing Unable to stand to Offer Prayer
Issue No.890- A person who is not able to offer prayer in a standing posture, should sit down, but if he is able to stand and lean on a stick or against a wall, etc., or keep his feet away from each other, he should offer his prayer in a standing posture, unless it causes an extraordinary hardship for him. Also as long as a person can offer prayer in a sitting posture, even if he may have to lean against something, he should not offer his prayer in a lying posture. And if he cannot sit at all, he should lie on his right side, so that the front part of his body faces the qiblah. If he cannot lie on that side, he should lie on the left side. And if this is not possible either, he should lie on his back, with the soles of his feet facing qiblah.
