Disable person making tayammum for salaah

Q: If someone is ill and has some disabilities, doing wudu and praying salah will increase the illness. He doesn't have anyone to help him. Can he do tayammum and pray sitting down?

A: Yes, it is permissible for him to make tayammum and perform the salaah while sitting.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
