I had piles, so I asked the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) about the prayer. He said, “Pray while standing and if you can’t, pray while sitting and if you cannot do even that, then pray Lying on your side.”

Sahih al-Bukhari 1117, Book 18, Shortening the Prayers (At-Taqseer), Hadith 37. 1 min read

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) pointed out that the main rule is to pray while standing, except when one is unable to do so, in which case he can pray while sitting, and if he cannot, he can pray while lying on his side.

What it teaches

  • Prayer does not cease to be due as long as a person retains his sanity. He may move from one condition to another according to his capacity.
  • The Hadīth shows the leniency and ease of Islam, as it allows a person to perform worship in accordance with his ability.
