Praying on a Chair in the Masjid

Question: Where should a person who prays whilst sitting on a chair place the legs of the chair in the row? بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيْم In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

Answer:

A person who prays on the chair due to a valid excuse should place the chair in such a way that the rear legs of the chair are on the row and parallel to the heels of those praying to his right and left so that his shoulders become aligned with the shoulders of those praying to his right and left.
