Question
A woman who finds it very difficult to wear socks and has no strength, is lying in bed covered with a blanket, and asks if it is better for her to stand and pray without socks, or to pray lying down while covered with a blanket?
Answer
If she is at home, it is preferable for her to pray without socks, because according to the author, one does not fulfill the obligation while sitting.
