Q: Two hafezs are to perform taraweeh. One cannot make sujdah due to injury. knees cannot fold. some say he can perfrom taraweeh, some say no due to him not being able to do a sajdah. I would really appreciate clarity on this matter.

A: He cannot lead the taraaweeh salaah.

( ولا يصح اقتداء رجل بامرأة ) … ( و ) لا ( قادر على ركوع وسجود بعاجز عنهما ) لبناء القوي على الضعيف

قال الشامي في رد المحتار : قوله ( بعاجز عنهما ) أي بمن يومىء بهما قائما أو قاعدا بخلاف ما لو أمكناه قاعدا فيصح كما سيأتي قال ط والعبرة للعجز عن السجود حتى لو عجز عنه وقدر على الركوع أومأ (رد المحتار 1/ 576-579)
