Applying all the Weight to One Leg While Standing

Q: Salaah-418: When our Imaam stands in Qiyaam, he applies all his weight to one leg as if the other is lame. He has not forsaken this habit despite being told. What is the ruling in the Shari'ah? Will the salaah be Makrooh or not?

Answer: There is no harm in applying one's weight sometimes to one leg and sometimes to the other while standing in salaah. It is however Makrooh to apply all the weight to one leg.1 And Allaah knows best what is most correct.
