Is it permissible on Tisha B'Av to sit on the steps in front of the Holy Ark even though they are a little high

It is allowed since they are part of the ground and are used for walking, and it is like sitting on the ground, and some people used to avoid it because of a custom of mourning, as we have cited some things that they used to do because of mourning.
