Question:<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When reading salaah on a chair does a person’s legs have to touch the ground?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Answer:<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A person must offer salah fulfilling all of its conditions and necessary elements, standing (Qiyam) being one of them. Allah Azzawajjal has lifted hardship from his slaves as He says in the Quran, \u201cNo soul is burdened except with its capacity.\u201d [2: 186] Therefore, if a person is unable to fulfil the condition of standing there is a leeway for them to sit, as mentioned in the Hadith of Imran bin Husayn [radhiAllahu anhu]: \u201cI had haemorrhoids so I asked the Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa Sallam) and He said, \u2018Pray standing and if you are unable the sitting, and if you are not able to then on your side.\u2019\u201d This clarifies that necessity will allow certain things to be allowed but only according to the need- for example if a person cannot stand, they can sit on a chair but must perform ruku and sajdah as normal.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Prophet [sallAllahu alaihi wa sallam] said, \u201cWhen I command you to do something, do it as much as you are capable.\u201d Therefore, when sitting on a chair one must try to resemble the form of salah as much as they can, so if they are able to place feet on the ground facing the qiblah they should do so. If they cannot due to a need or legs not reaching the ground then that would be overlooked.<\/span><\/p>\n
