Qiyam (To Stand)

 

967. To stand erect while saying Takbiratul Ihram, and to stand before the Ruku’ – which is called Qiyam muttasil ba Ruku’ – is the Rukn of the prayers. But, standing while reciting Surah Al - Hamd and the other Surah and standing after performing the Ruku’, is not Rukn and if a person omits it inadvertently, his prayers are in order.

968. It is obligatory for a person to stand awhile before and after pronouncing Takbir, so as to ensure that he has pronounced the Takbir while standing.

 

969. Qiyam muttasil ba Ruku’ means that one goes to Ruku’ from Qiyam (standing). Therefore, if a person forgets to perform Ruku’, and sits down after reciting Al - Hamd and Surah, and then remembers that he has not performed Ruku’, he should first stand up and then go into Ruku’. If he does not stand up first, and performs Ruku’ while he is bowing, his prayers will be void because of not having performed Qiyam (standing) before Ruku’.  

970. When a person stands for Takbiratul Ihram or Qir'at (recitation), he should not move his body, nor should he incline on one side, and should not lean on anything in normal condition, except if he is helpless, or if he moves his feet in trying to go to Ruku’, there is no harm in it.

971. If while standing, a person forgetfully moves his body, or inclines on one side, or leans on something, there is no harm in it. However, if it happens during pronouncing Takbiratul Ihram or Qiyam muttasil ba Ruku’ even forgetfully, then as per recommended precaution, he should complete his prayer and offer it again.

972. As per obligatory precaution, at the time of standing for Namaz, both the feet of a person should be on the ground. However, it is not necessary that the weight of his body should be on both the feet. If the weight is on one foot, there is no harm in it.

973. If a person, who can stand properly, keeps his feet so wide that it may not be considered as standing, his prayers are void.

974. When a person is engaged in a Zikr in the prayers, be it an obligatory or Mustahab, his body should be still. And when he wishes to go a little backward or forward, or to move his body a little towards right or left, he should not recite anything at that time. However, Bihawlillaahi Wa Quwwatihi Aqumu wa Aq'ud should be said in the state of rising.

975. If he recites something Mustahab while in motion, for example, if he says Takbir while going into Ruku’ or Sajdah, since he has said that Zikr with intention of saying it as a part of Namaz as ordered, then as per precautionary measure, he should offer the Namaz again. And if he has not said it with that intention and just said for the sake of Takbir being a Zikr in general then his Namaz will be in order.

976. There is no harm in the movement of hands and fingers at the time of reciting Al – Hamd and other Surah, although, as per recommended precaution, it should be avoided.

 

977. If at the time of reciting Al - Hamd, Surah or Tasbihat, somebody moves so much involuntarily that the body is not steady anymore, as per obligatory precaution, after his body resumes steadiness, he should recite again, all that he has recited while his body moved.

978. If a person becomes unable to stand while offering prayers, he should sit down, and if he is unable to sit, he should lie down. However, until his body becomes steady, he should not utter any Zikr.

979. As long as a person is able to offer prayers standing, he should not sit down. For example, if the body of a person shakes, or moves when he stands, or he is obliged to lean on something, or to incline his body a bit, or keep his feet wide more than usual, he should continue to offer prayers standing in whatever manner he can. But, if he cannot stand at all, even in the posture of Ruku’, he should sit upright, and offer prayers in that position.

980. As long as a person can sit, he should not offer prayers in a lying posture, and if he cannot sit straight, he should sit in any manner he can. And if he cannot sit at all, he should lie, as stated in the rules of Qibla, on his right side.
If he cannot lie on that side, he should lie on his left side. If it is not possible to lie on either side, then he should lie on his back, with his feet facing Qibla.

981. If a person is offering prayers in a sitting position, and if after reciting Al - Hamd and Surah, he is able to stand up and perform Ruku’, he should first stand, and then perform Ruku’. But, if he cannot do so, he should perform Ruku’ while sitting.

982. If a person, who is offering prayers in a lying position, can sit during the prayers, he should offer, those parts of the prayers, which he can, while sitting. Also, if he can manage to stand, he should offer those parts of the prayers, which he can, while standing. But, as long as his body is not still, he should not utter any Zikr.

983. If a person offering prayers in a sitting position becomes capable, during prayers, to stand up, he should offer that part of the prayers which he can, while standing. But as long as his body is not still, he should not utter any Zikr.

984. If a person who can stand, fears that owing to standing, he will become ill, or will be harmed, he can offer prayers in a sitting position and if he fears sitting, he can offer the prayers in a lying posture.

 

985. If a person had some hope that at the end of the time for Namaz, he will be able to offer prayers standing, he should delay the prayers. And if he did not become capable of standing till the end of the time for Namaz, the he should act according to his situation.

986. It is Mustahab for the person offering prayers to stand erect, slacken down his shoulders, place his hands on his thighs, join his fingers together, look at the place of Sajdah, place the weight of his body equally on two feet, stand in submission and humility, keep both his feet in line. Men offering prayers should keep a distance of three open fingers, or a span between his feet, and women should keep the feet together.
