Using A Turbah Whilst Praying Sitting?

[amanizahid]

Assalamualaikum,

 

I've been having severe back aches for the last few weeks and it's been quite difficult standing in prayer.

So I have been performing sitting down.

But when I need to pray on a chair how do I prostrate on a turbah? Like do I pick it up and put it on my forehead or put it on a table and lean on it??

I've seen people doing it both ways, although with the second method that you mentioned, the person would still tilt his body forward.

 

This is from sistani.org

 

* If I was unable to bend for sujood properly due to sickness, for example, what should I do?

- Try to bow as far as you can, placing the object of sujood on a raised place, provided that you position all other parts of your body during the posture of sujood on their respective spots.

* And if I was not able to do so?

- You may nod with your head to the place of sujood. Should you not be able to do so, you may use your eyes as a substitute; close them to denote performing sujood and open them to express the lifting of the forehead from the place of sujood.
