Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: My father underwent a kidney dialysis procedure, and the doctor advised him not to mix with people or get close to them, especially in the mosque and the congregational prayer. Rather, he should pray alone, away from the ma'mum (those praying behind the imam). Is that permissible for him?
Answer:
Yes, it is permissible for him. This is a valid legal excuse. If mixing with people and going to the mosque causes his illness to worsen or causes him harm, then he is excused and prays in his home. Praise be to Allah.
