Your question, O Muhammad. I say to you, Muhammad Ahmad, is that right? Yes, Muhammad Ahmad, go ahead, here is your question, O Muhammad. Okay, my question is that I have cancer, can you see how it is? May Allah heal you. I have a colostomy bag on my side and they are giving me chemotherapy. So how, by Allah, do I deal with the colostomy bag on my side with the shortness of the bowel? How, what? How does the stool come out on my side, I have the colostomy, yes, they call it the colostomy. Okay, and I have, what is it called, cancer, yes, in the colon and in this, and I have had it for about six months. And now I want to know how I pray and how I perform wudu' and so on. And I know that the bag never stops, for example, not in prayer, not on Friday, not in such and such. Okay, and then I have chemotherapy that I use, and I was not able to go to the mosque. Is it permissible for me to pray at home, or at home, and so on? May Allah heal you. What is it? Poison? May Allah heal you, O Muhammad, and may you see nothing but good. The brother Muhammad, may Allah heal him, says that he is afflicted with cancer. He asks about how to pray and also how to perform wudu', and he asks, and is it permissible for me to pray at home if it is difficult to pray in the mosque?
