Salaah behind an imaam who is physically injured

· 22 Rajab 1438 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Can we perform pray/salaah behind any physically unfit Imam. For Example, he can't walk normally (his leg is broken and and he is operated). Please guide me to care extra in the salaah/Namaz.

Answer

As long as he is doing the ruku and sajdah on the ground then the namaaz behind him will be permissible.

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