663. Pray As You Are Commanded

By Asma bint Shameem

If there’s *no possibility* of you praying with proper standing, rukoo and sujood, and you’ve tried your best then there’s no sin on you and you can pray sitting. 

And the prayer would be valid. 

But one *must* do all he can to pray in the proper standing posture. 

Allaah says:
“So keep your duty to Allaah and fear Him as much as you can” [al-Taghaabun 64:16]

And He said:
“Allaah burdens not a person beyond his scope”[al-Baqarah 2:286]

And Allaah says:
“… while He has explained to you in detail what is forbidden to you, except under compulsion of necessity.”[al-An’aam 6:119]

The Messenger of Allaah Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam said:
“If I command you to do a thing, then do as much of it as you can.” (al-Bukhaari) 

And Allaah knows best
