Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: I suffer from severe chronic coughing, and sometimes during the prayer I am unable to recite the first tashahhud or recite al-Fatihah if I am behind the imam because of this condition, and I complete my prayer in this manner. His question is: Is my prayer valid in this way?
Answer:
And if he prays alone, meaning that this difficulty goes away if he prays alone, he is able to do what he was unable to do with the imam, or all of it, whether he prays with the imam and finishes, may Allah forgive what he is unable to do, may Allah forgive what he is unable to do. Yes, fear Allah as much as you are able. Yes.
