The answer

Iftirash (sitting on the left heel with the right foot upright) and tawarruk (sitting on the left thigh with both feet extended to the right side) are not conditions for the validity of prayer. Rather, it is permissible to sit in any posture, especially out of necessity. Men and women are equal in this regard. The sunnah posture of sitting is recommended, not a condition, so the prayer of one who does not adopt it is valid.
