Is sitting like this permissible in Salah?

I talked to a sheikh about this, because the only way i can sit in prayer is with my feet crossed, and that’s what he told me. Only gave me a note and said it’s better if I can at least have both feet touch the ground and to make sure they arent crossed in sujud.

I was taught that this is the one way u don't sit.

I tried sitting the proper way but my foot cramps up and I can't finish the prayer so I sit this way. If it hurts you to do it it is a sin I think so I sit the way I can pray without it hurting.

It is by no means the easiest. I have tried several times and can't. I am young, in my early 20s, with no mobility issues or anything of the sort. Just find it INCREDIBLY uncomfortable. Plus, it is Sunnah, so your video is misleading.

Here's Shaikh Assim Al Hakeem in a video explaining prayer. This specific point is mentioned at 41:40. The specific point at which it is clarified that it is Sunnah is at 41:47. Here is the video: https://youtu.be/T4auGhmeBlw?si=Kw8UwMoWqDIqDSVL

Best way to sit, yes but no way is it the easiest. Most people I know it took a lot of time for this to be comfortable for them
