Being pregnant, it's difficult to do sajdah so I've been sitting on a chair to pray. I usually stand for qiyam and ruku, but sit on a chair when I have to go for sajdah. Is it okay to sit during the qiyam/ruku part as well?","answer":"During the obligatory (fardh) salah, standing is a requirement, except when it induces hardship like dizziness, nausea, or significant pain that hampers concentration. Therefore, start your salah while standing until the point of experiencing such difficulty, at which time you may opt to sit. Regarding the ruku, if standing for it poses no such difficulty, then standing is mandatory.","tags":[{"_id":"668d9fe30b76658b4c23281e","tag":"Salah: Other","count":138},{"_id":"668d9fdd0b76658b4c232765","tag":"Women: Children and Childbirth","count":50},{"_id":"668d9ffd0b76658b4c232b1f","tag":"Sitting During Salah","count":7}],"createdOn":"2024-07-09T20:41:54.448Z"}
