How do I perform my salah?
Published as Unable to make sajdah in salaah
Question
I can walk easily, can stand for a long time, but the problem is to bend my knees. So I can't make sajdah easily. My doctor advised me not to do salah by normal way? How do I perform my salah?
Answer
Make the sajdah in the way you can.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
