Title: Performing namaz on chair because of joint pain

Question: As advised by doctor my father is not allowed to put pressure on joints and hence he just do sajdah by tilting down from the chair as he perform namaz while sitting on the chair. I want to ask is it acceptable or is it mandate to perform sajdah on some hard thing say by keeping a stool in front of his chair and performing sajdah on that stool.

Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 9/15/H=01/1440)

If it is not possible for your father to offer salah sitting on ground in any posture or he feels extreme pain then it is correct for him to offer salah while sitting on chair. There is no need to put stool etc to do sajdah on it, rather just he should bow for sajdah.

Q. Earlier in our masjid we used to stand as the Imam sahib entered and the Iqama was given and then we prayed normally. Now since many months the Imam sahib has started reciting Hadith from a book of selected Hadiths when he comes for Fardh Salat. Till then we sit down and wait for the Hadith to be completed and then we stand up and Iqama is given. I fear if this is an innovation (biddah) and if other masjids too starts following this way of reciting Hadith when Imam comes to lead for prayer then it may create confusion among people. Kindly let me know if this practice is correct or should be avoided? 1341 views
