Praying on the bed without standing

Assalamualaikum. Ustadz, I want to ask a question.

At home the employer may pray. It's just that, pray above, because the bed is level. Incidentally, I was on top, so I prayed 5 times when I did it above, and the position could not stand because it was blocked by the ceiling wall. While on the floor, there is no comfortable place to pray.

So, my questions:

  1. Is my prayer valid?
  2. Should my prayers be reworked? I have done this kind of prayer for 1 year, Ustadz.

Please, I beg for an explanation.

Thank you, Ustadz.

Greetings, Fulanah

ANSWER:

Wassalamu'alaikum warahmatullahi wabarokaatuh.

Bismillah ... Among the pillars of prayer is standing up if you can. However, prayer can be performed in a way other than standing, such as sitting or lying down. Rasulullah saw said:

ل ائما لم اعدا لى (رواه البخاري)

"Pray standing up, if you can't then sit down, if you can't then lie down on your side". (Narrated by Bukhari)

It's just that for the fardlu prayer, the scholars agree that if a person is able to stand, then he is not allowed to pray while sitting, let alone lying down. However, for sunnah prayer, it is permissible to sit down even though a person is still able to stand. Only, the reward is half of those who do it standing up.

Conditions such as illness, war, and so on, praying may be done sitting down, etc. However, if I see the condition because I am on the top floor bed so it is not possible to stand because it hits the roof, then if there is still an opportunity to pray on the floor or other place that can be done standing up, then praying while sitting is invalid because it does not fulfill the wrong thing. one pillar of prayer. Thus, a person must pray as much as he does while sitting.

My suggestion is to borrow a friend's bed under it to allow it to stand. Or, if there is still a clean floor underneath, pray while standing and comfortable.

Wallâhu a'lam bish-showâb.

Regards!
