Rulings on the Prayer of the Sick Person and Those Who Abandon Prayer in the Hospital

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner, Umm Ibrahim, says that she entered the hospital and did not pray until she came out after five days, because she had some excuses. Honorable Shaykh, since she was unable to enter the bathrooms to perform wudu, what is the ruling in that, and what are the rulings of prayer for the sick?

Answer:
I made a great mistake in this. The sick person prays according to his condition. The saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): “The sick person prays .” And if she is unable to perform ritual purity with water, she performs dry ablution with clean earth. They bring her some earth and she performs dry ablution with it.
Because it is a substitute for water, so when you do not find water, perform tayammum up to the saying of Allah the Exalted: "so when you do not find water, perform tayammum." So likewise, the one who is unable to use water is in the ruling of the one who lacks water, so he performs tayammum. Do not abandon the prayer, but in any case, she must repent to Allah and hasten to make up these prayers in order, the first day, then the one after it, until she completes the prayers she abandoned, along with repentance to Allah and seeking forgiveness, and she must not return to such a thing. Yes.
