The answer

The person praying on a chair should exert their effort to straighten the row. If they are unable, there is no blame upon them, as Allah Almighty says: "So fear Allah as much as you are able," and His saying: "Allah does not burden a soul beyond its capacity." The prayer of the person praying on a chair is invalid if they abandon sitting or prostrating while being able to do so.
