What is the ruling on prayer when one feels dizzy and is unable to complete it standing?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The advice is to consult doctors while seeking help through supplication (du'a), legitimate incantations ( shari'ah), and healing with the Noble Qur'an. It also involves striving against one's self in reciting and listening to the Qur'an, not surrendering to the whisperings of Satan, and praying sitting if standing is difficult, according to the Prophet's ﷺ saying: "Pray standing; if you are unable, then sitting."
