When a Binding Prayer May Be Performed on a Mount

Voluntary Prayer Sitting or Riding — and Prayer on a Mount

The source gives necessity examples that can permit a binding prayer on a mount, such as:

• real fear of a thief harming the person, the animal or clothing if they dismount;
• fear of a wild animal;
• severe mud;
• an uncontrollable mount;
• a physically weak person who cannot remount and has no one to help.

These are necessity cases. The permission comes from danger or inability, not convenience alone.
