Is the prayer valid for someone who prays the obligatory (Fard) and supererogatory (Ratibah) prayers standing from the beginning until the Taslim, despite being able to stand or pray on his side, but unable to sit on the ground or a chair? And is his prayer valid for the supererogatory (Ratibah) and Witr prayers if he prays them standing, whether he is incapacitated or not?
If the worshiper is able to stand and lie down, but is unable to sit, then he prays standing, and gestures for bowing and prostration, and recites the Tashahhud and makes the Taslim while standing. There is no difference in this between obligatory prayers, supererogatory regular prayers, and Witr.
