Fuqaholar bemorning namozni bajarishi haqidagi xitob unga qaratilgani va u buni amalga oshira olmasa, uning uchun qiyomga turish majburiyati soqit bo'lib, o'tirgan holda namoz o'qishi borasida ittifoq qilganlar. Xuddi shunday, ruku' va sajda qilishga bo'lgan majburiyat ham, agar u ularning birortasini yoki ikkalasini ham bajara olmasa, soqit bo'ladi va ularning o'rniga ishora qilishi mumkin. Ular o'tirib namoz o'qishi mumkin bo'lgan shaxsning holati, o'tirish shakli hamda o'tira ham, tura ham olmaydigan kishining holati haqida ixtilof qilganlar.

The jurists agreed that the communication of the performance of prayer is addressed to the marid, and that the obligation to stand up (and pray) is waived for him only if he is unable to do so, in which case he prays while seated. Likewise, the obligation for bowing and prostrating is waived if he is unable to do either or both, and he may mak$ a sign in their place. They disagreed about the condition of a person who may pray while seated, about the sitting posture, and about the posture of one who is unable to sit or stand.
