Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah bless you. The questioner, Uthman from Jeddah, says: My father suffered a stroke about three years ago, which paralyzed his left side. Three Ramadans have passed, and he has only fasted in the Ramadan before last. He is also suffering from diabetes and high blood pressure. My brothers and I pray at home with our father. Do we sin by not going to the mosque because of our father’s health condition?
Answer:
It is not permissible for you to pray at home while you are healthy and able to go, while your father prays alone, because he is excused. Yes.
