# A bed that’s used for sleeping isn’t considered an interruption between the person davening and the wall, however because some argue on this, one try to strict not to daven in front of a bed used for sleeping if that’s possible. <Ref> Mishna Brurah 90:65 writes that a bed used to sleep on is considered established and not an interruption (based on Bet Yosef) however because some (Bach and Taz) argue that it is an interruption, one should try to avoid Davening in front of a bed used for sleeping if it’s possible. </ref> | # A bed that’s used for sleeping isn’t considered an interruption between the person davening and the wall, however because some argue on this, one try to strict not to daven in front of a bed used for sleeping if that’s possible. <Ref> Mishna Brurah 90:65 writes that a bed used to sleep on is considered established and not an interruption (based on Bet Yosef) however because some (Bach and Taz) argue that it is an interruption, one should try to avoid Davening in front of a bed used for sleeping if it’s possible. </ref> | ||

# Chazal learn from Chanah who was praying in the Bet HaMikdash and the pasuk says that there was no one sitting where she stood. <ref> Gemara Brachot 32a from Shmuel 1 chapter 1</ref>. Some explain that the reason for the prohibition is that it's not proper that it should appear that someone is davening and accepting Hashem's kingship and the one sitting refuses to do so. <ref> Tur 102, Trumat HaDeshen 3 </ref> Some explain that the prohibition is because the Shechina dwells in that area where a person davens and it's inappropriate to sit. <ref> S"A HaRav 102:1, Sefer Arba Amot SHel Tefillah pg 1 suggests that this is based on Shibolei HaLeket (Brachot 25) in name of Rav Hai Goan. </ref> | |||
# It's forbidden to sit within 4 amot of someone davening <ref> Brachot 31b, S"A 102:1 </ref> including behind the one davening. <ref> Rama 102:1 and Mishna Brurah 102:4 rule that even behind the one davening is forbidden to sit. </ref> | |||
# It's forbidden to lean on a Shtender within 4 amot of someone davening. However, if one is only leaning a little and if the Shtender was removed one wouldn't fall, one may be lenient in cases of need. <ref> Mishna Brurah 102:1 </ref> | |||
# One shouldn't sit (within 4 amot) even to learn unless, it's behind the one davening and there's a need. <ref> Mishna Brurah 102:6 </ref> | |||
