The answer

"Praying while sitting is not permissible except when one is unable to stand during an obligatory prayer, unlike supererogatory prayers. What has been mentioned is not an excuse, so prayer must be performed standing. It is permissible to combine two prayers when there is a need. However, it is not permissible to delay prayer beyond its prescribed time, nor to perform it sitting when one is able to stand. The matters of religion must be given precedence."
