Salaah for a person with a knee problem

Submitted by user2 on Wed, 2024-04-17 08:08

Q: I can not sit in salaah. I have knee problem and the doctor isn’t doing anything to help. I also have loud cracks when sitting down and standing up. Can you help me and tell me how I can sit because I am unable to sit in the positions in salaah. I am only 13 years old also and I have done lots of exercises and medicine but they didn’t help.

A: We advise you to refer to a specialist. For the time being, you may sit on the floor and spread your legs out or sit in any other posture that will be easy for you.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
