> Sitting prayer (ma'dhur) is permitted when standing or bowing is not possible — Shafi'i method. Prayer times do not change; only the method of performance does.

## Does sitting prayer change Fajr or Dhuhr time?

No. Times still follow your **JAKIM zone**. What changes is how standing, bowing, and prostration are performed for someone who is ma'dhur.

Shafi'i principles commonly cited in Malaysia (summary, not a verdict): if unable to stand — sit; if unable to prostrate — signal. Reference: [JAKIM i-Fiqh](https://www.islam.gov.my/).
