The ruling on making up missed prayers due to surgery and anesthesia
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Abu al-Walid from Jazan says: I had heart surgery to replace a valve on Tuesday at nine in the morning, and I did not wake up from the anesthesia until Wednesday night. I was unable to move because of the severe pain and also because of the many machines in the intensive care unit. I was able to move on Thursday at Fajr and started praying by looking only. What is the ruling on the prayers I missed?
The Shaykh:
You make them up. You make up the prayers you missed, if you are able to do so, you make up the prayers you missed, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
The questioner:
All together or separately?
The Shaykh:
He should hasten to make them up. He should make them up and hasten to do so in his place. If there are many, he prays whatever is easy for him, then he limits himself to what he was able to do, and then he makes up the rest when he is able, until he has made up all the prayers he owes. He does not leave them; he makes them all up. Yes.
