Sunnah and etiquette of sitting

Dear Islamic brothers! Let’s now listen to a few sunnah and etiquette related to sitting.

*   The Messenger of Allah صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was reported to have sat cross-legged.

*   One should not sit where there is both sunlight and shade. The final Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم stated: “If one of you is sitting in shade and it begins to withdraw, resulting in you being partly in sunshine and partly in shade, you should get up from there.”^[1]

*   We should sit facing the qiblah.^[2]

*   The Imam of the Ahl al-Sunnah, Imām Aḥmad Razā Khān رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه writes: “One should not sit in the seat of their spiritual guide or teacher (of Islamic knowledge) when they are absent.”
