Sama holds that it is a doubt whether it is considered standing or sitting and since it is only rabbinic to stand we&#039;re lenient to consider it standing or sitting. Tumim 17:1 argues that it is biblical for witnesses to stand. Bach holds that it is both sitting and standing for whatever you need it to be. However, Magen Avraham 141:2 and Gra CM 17:6 are strict. Magen Avraham holds that it is like sitting not standing, while Gra holds that it is neither sitting or standing.&lt;/ref&gt; Some say it is permitted for both the witnesses and the judges to be leaning at the same time, while others argue that it is forbidden.&lt;ref&gt;Bach 17:2 and 64:22 holds it is permitted even initially. Shach 17:5 and 64:32 quotes the Bach. Sama 17:6 and 28:64 thinks it is only permitted after the fact because it is a contradiction to simultaneously treat leaning as sitting and standing.&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> # Judges need to sit for a din torah and leaning is considered sitting.&lt;ref&gt;Shulchan Aruch C.M. 28:26, Bach 17:2, Sama 17:6, Shach 17:5, and Magen Avraham 141:2.&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> # For kriyat hatorah the one reading needs to standing and leaning is not considered standing.&lt;ref&gt;Shulchan Aruch O.C. 141:1, Magen Avraham 141:2&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> # Al Hamichya needs to be recited sitting and leaning is considered sitting.&lt;ref&gt;Tzitz Eliezer 16:1&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> # Shofar needs to be blown standing and leaning is not considered standing.&lt;ref&gt;Magen Avraham 585:1 citing the Maharil&lt;/ref&gt; Others argue.&lt;ref&gt;Pitchei Teshuva 17 cites Birkei Yosef who liked the argument of Rav Tzvi Ashkenazi that when standing is necessary from the torah leaning doesn&#039;t count, but if it is only necessary rabbinically it is acceptable. That&#039;s why, claims the Birkei Yosef, the Rama didn&#039;t quote the Maharil as the halacha, even though it is in the Darkei Moshe, since standing for shofar is only rabbinic.&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> ==Sources==<br /> &lt;references/&gt;</div>
