The ruling on staying with a patient in the hospital and leaving the congregational prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, he says: I am staying with a relative of mine in the hospital, accompanying him because he is dear to me and I am attached to him. He says, “Do not go to the mosque for the obligatory prayer,” and orders me to pray with him. He says, “I am getting used to you and I need you.” Should I leave that?
Answer:
If he needs you for his affairs and his care, then you stay with him and do not go to the mosque. This is better than going to the mosque. Yes.
