Question:
This is their father, O Shaykh. He had surgery because he has a clot in his head, and they say, O Shaykh Salih, we are afraid that if he goes to the mosque, he will not be able to move or keep his mind, and he will return. He prays at home. O Honorable Shaykh, does he get reward for that, or must he go to the mosque?
Answer:
No, if going to the mosque would affect him and there is fear for his well-being, he prays at home. This is a sick person, and the sick person has a dispensation to pray in his home. Yes.
