The Command for the Mentally Ill Patient to Maintain the Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: There is a mentally ill patient whose condition is unstable, and his family does not know how to order him to maintain the prayer.
Answer:
If he does not have his faculties, the prayer is not obligatory on him. The one who does not have his faculties owes no prayer. If he regains his senses, they order him to pray. But as long as he does not have his faculties, nothing is required of him, and he is neither ordered nor forbidden. Yes.

Allah is sufficient for me against you,
