What is the correct method of sitting while in salaat?
Question
If a person has a problem bending their knees, can the person start their namaaz standing, perform rukr normally, and then sit on a chair for the sajda and jalsa. After the sajda, the person will stand up again and continue the namaaz in this way. Is this method correct? If not, please suggest the best method.

It is permissible for the person experiencing difficulties with his knees to commence his Salaat in a standing posture and perform Ruku and Sajdah whilst sitting on the chair.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
