#453: The Salāt of the One who cannot make Sujūd on the Seven Bones
QUESTION
” Assalamu alaykum warahmatullah. some1 who can stand 4 prayer bt can’t nil 4 prostratn in sujud save on his toes, hands n forehead, how should this person pray: should pray dat way or pray sitting with his leg stretched facing the qiblah?…Hope my question is understood.”
ANSWER
Wa alaykum salām Warahmatullāh Wabarakātuh
It is obligatory on such a person to observe the Salāt standing, and then to make the Sujūd on whatever of his limbs that he can. Allāh doesn’t task a soul beyond his capability, but what is possible is not neglected due to that which is not.
