Question

Answer
If one suffers from pain in his legs and is unable or experiences difficulty in standing, he may perform his Salaah sitting.
The method of doing this is that he seat himself either on a chair or in tashahhud position (or as close as possible) on the ground and make his rukoo' and sajdah by indication. His sajdah, in this case should be lower than his rukoo'. If he is seated on the ground, he can make sajdah normally.
