In mandatory prayers, it is a pillar that one prays standing up. If a person is unable to stand up, he can pray sitting down.

If a person is travelling, he is allowed to pray voluntary prayers while sitting down, even to the direction of other than the Ka’abah.

While in the car and in the city, this is not permissible.

Can a Muslim sit (for example in a plane seat or in a car seat) and pray while traveling or is this kind of improvisation not allowed? Do prayers done in this way in the past during travels need to be made up for?

With reference to hadith which states reward of hajj and umrah if one pray fajr in jamah,sit till sunrise remebering Allah,praying two rakahs when sun has fully risen. Does one have to sit at the same place he prayed without changing position to gain this reward.

I actually missed a lot of prayers when I was young and not practicing, but I’ve been trying to make these up with each regular prayer. Tell me, is this wrong? Can no prayer at all be done as qadha?
