Peace be upon you.
Ayatollah Khamenei and Ayatollah Sistani (may Allah protect them):
During the performance of obligatory prayer, the worshiper must be in a stable position, meaning they should not be walking or running. However, this is all contingent upon the availability of time. If the time is limited and the individual cannot pray except while walking or running, then it becomes obligatory to do so.
May you be successful in all good.
