The Reward of the Haram for a Weak Person Praying in a House on High Ground

Question

In Makka some houses are situated very high up. It is difficult for a weak person to go down and climb up; his heart yearns to pray in the Noble Haram, but his weakness prevents him. So if, out of necessity, he prays in the house, will he receive the reward of praying in the Noble Haram?

Answer

Given this yearning and this weakness, it is not at all far-fetched that he will receive the reward of praying in the Noble Haram.
