Performing Salaah Seated Without A Valid Excuse

Question

A man can stand for a few seconds either normally or by leaning, and is able to perform ruku and sajdah normally, but due to some pain or difficulty, which is neither extreme nor likely to increase his illness, he chooses to sit on the floor or on a chair to perform his fardh Salah, will his Salah be valid?

Answer

 His Salaah will be invalid.
