Question:
This is also one of the sisters saying: My mother is advanced in age and bedridden, and she wears sanitary pads. May Allah honor and protect you. She says: When the time for prayer comes, she prays because it is difficult for her to remove or change them. She asks: Is her prayer valid?
Answer:
If Allah wills,[Al-Baqarah 2:286], so if she is unable to change her clothes, she prays in her clothes, even if there is ritual impurity on them, provided she is unable to remove it. Yes.
