Is it acceptable to read the Fardh Salaat standing and then read the Naflsitting? I have noticed many people doing this.
Answer
It is permissible to perform the Nafl Salaat in a sitting position, but it will earn half the reward. Nevertheless, if the sitting posture is adopted due to some valid excuse, for example, illness, then there will be full reward. (Tahtaawi pg.220, Karachi)

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
