The Ruling on Fasting and Prayer for One Who Undergoes Kidney Dialysis
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Shaykh Salih, we ask a lot about kidney patients who undergo dialysis during the day, regarding fasting and regarding prayer?
The Shaykh:
Regarding fasting, this breaks the fast because dialysis introduces fluids, medications, and many other things into the body. So, dialysis breaks the fast, and they must make up the day on which they underwent dialysis.
The questioner:
Regarding prayer.
The Shaykh:
As for prayer, if the procedure begins before the time for prayer enters, they should intend to combine it with the next prayer. If the procedure is after the time has entered, they should pray before entering the procedure. Yes.
