Will a female patient with a slipped disc be held accountable if she prays standing despite the doctor's advice to pray sitting? And is this considered casting oneself into destruction? Is it permissible for her to prostrate in the air when reciting the Quran? And what are the rulings regarding prostration of recitation?

Scholars have unanimously agreed on the permissibility of a sick person praying while sitting if he is unable to stand, or experiences obvious hardship, or fears an increase in illness or a delay in recovery. However, obligatory prayers performed sitting are not valid if one is able to stand, unless there is severe hardship, or fear of increased illness, or perishing. The description of bowing for someone praying while sitting is to bend down so that his forehead is level with what is beyond his knees, and the most complete form is for his forehead to be level with his place of prostration. His prostration is like that of someone standing, but if he is unable, he should gesticulate.
