The ruling on a sick person abandoning prayer on the grounds of inability

The questioner:
Hello, yes, how are you, Shaykh? I hope you are well? I am fine, praise be to Allah. May Allah bless you, O long-lived one. My father is sick; he has had a stroke for ten years. He is unable to pray. His mind is sound, praise be to Allah, his memory and everything else is fine, but every time we tell him to pray, he says, "I can't."

The Shaykh:
If he is unable, then prayer is not obligatory upon him.

The questioner:
Praise be to Allah, I mean, he does not move; he has hemiplegia. We lift him and place him, but every time we tell him to pray, he says, "I can't, I can't pray." And he does not feel comfortable either. May Allah cure him.

The Shaykh:
No, my brother, he prays while on his bed, according to his condition. He prays while on his bed.

The presenter:
Okay, thank you, thank you, my brother.
