Chapter on Extent of Illness in Which Breaking the Fast Becomes Obligatory

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ اَلْحَسَنِ اَلصَّفَّارُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ حَفْصٍ اَلْمَرْوَزِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ اَلْفَقِيهُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: »اَلْمَرِيضُ إِنَّمَا يُصَلِّي قَاعِداً إِذَا صَارَ بِالْحَالِ اَلَّتِي لاَ يَقْدِرُ فِيهَا أَنْ يَمْشِيَ مِقْدَارَ صَلاَتِهِ إِلَى أَنْ يَفْرُغَ قَائِماً«.
Muhammad ibn al-Hasan al-Saffar, from Muhammad ibn Isa, from Sulayman ibn Hafs al-Marwazi, who said: The Jurist (al-Faqih) Imam al-Hadi عليه السلام, peace be upon him, said: “The sick person only prays sitting when he reaches the condition in which he is unable to walk the amount of his prayer until he finishes while standing.”
