Answer

If you cannot stand and perform salaah in your office or anywhere else and you have no alternative then you will be excused for sitting on the chair of your office and performing salaah.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
