Standing behind seated Imam ruling
According to Dr. Amr Al-Wardani, head of the Religious Committee in the Parliament, Dar Al-Ifta has permitted, in accordance with Islamic law, for a person sitting to lead the prayer if they have a legitimate health reason that prevents them from standing. He confirmed that the prayer of the sitting imam and the worshippers is valid, and that this excuse does not prevent them from leading the prayer. Particularly since Sharia encourages congregational prayer, as it greatly rewards the prayer of the individual, citing the Prophet’s (peace be upon him) Sunnah, in which he prayed sitting during his illness. This matter is important because it allows those with health conditions to lead the prayer without losing out on the reward, while everyone still benefits from the virtue of praying in congregation.
