What is Correct?

(Bringing the sermon to a close, here is the correct religious ruling regarding a common misconception:)

Ruling: When offering a prayer while seated, the extent of rukūꜤ (bowing) is that the forehead should come in line with the knees.

Explanation: Our first preference should be to perform even voluntary prayers while standing, as there is greater reward in it. However, if a person offers a voluntary prayer while seated, it is permissible. Similarly, if a sick person offers a prayer while seated, and Shariah permits him to do so, there is no harm in it.

However, when performing rukūꜤ while sitting, some people become confused about how far they should bow. Some lower their heads slightly, while others bow so far that it resembles a prostration. The religious ruling in this regard is that if one prays while seated, he should bow only to the extent that the forehead comes in line with the knees. Bowing more than this is makrūh tanzīhī (disliked, though not prohibited). Imām Aḥmad Riḍā Khan رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه has
