Prayer of the Sick, the Unconscious, the Weak and the Infirm, the Elderly and Others
وَ رَوَى مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ مَيْسَرَةَ: أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَ يُصَلِّي اَلرَّجُلُ وَ هُوَ جَالِسٌ مُتَرَبِّعٌ وَ مَبْسُوطُ اَلرِّجْلَيْنِ فَقَالَ «لاَ بَأْسَ بِذَلِكَ.
Muawiya ibn Maysara narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام: "Can a person pray while sitting in the position of tawarruk (cross-legged) or with his legs spread out?" Imam عليه السلام said: "There is no harm in that."
