Question

Can a person sit and read taraweeh without a valid excuse, just because he is feeling tired or his back is paining a bit?

Answer

If it is going to be difficult for him to stand up then he may sit for a few rakaats and then he can stand.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
