Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: We are a group with our sick father, who is in bed and has passed the age of eighty. We remind him, with care, of the times for prayer, but he does not focus in the prayer and does not listen to what we say, Honorable Shaykh. He makes many mistakes. Is anything required of us other than that?
Answer:
Yes, remind him when the time for prayer comes, urge him to pray, and help him perform it. If he becomes inattentive or forgetful, he prays according to his condition.[Al-Baqarah 2:286] Yes
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
