A disabled person need not be at the edge of the row

Question

If, because of some excuse, one happens to perform the prayer sitting, is it better in this case to perform the prayer with the congregation sitting in the middle of the row, or is it preferable (awla) to leave a place in the middle of the row and pray sitting right at the end, at the edge of the row?

Answer

Being at the edge is not necessary. A disabled person may also perform the prayer sitting in the middle of the row.
