Question

Is it permissible for a sick person to pray while seated?

Answer

It is permissible for a sick person, who is unable to stand up, to offer prayers while sitting on a chair. If unable to prostrate while seated, he should pray while sitting on the ground. And if he is neither able to bow nor prostrate, then he can perform these actions while sitting on a chair.
And God the Almighty knows best.
