The ruling on the prayer of a patient with paralysis and diabetes
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Finally, his second question: He says a man of advanced age suffered a stroke, which resulted in paralysis on the right side, memory loss, and incontinence. May Allah reward you with good. He is also suffering from diabetes and takes blood-thinning medication. He was advised to undergo medical cupping. Honorable Shaykh, regarding the prayer first, how does he perform tayammum and how does he pray while he is in his bed?
Answer:
If his mind is present, he knows the time of prayer, and he knows the prayer, then he is ordered to perform it. If he is able to perform ritual purity with water, it is obligatory for him to do so, even if he needs someone to help him. If he is unable to perform ritual purity with water, he performs tayammum with earth, meaning he strikes the pure earth with his hands and wipes his face and his hands. If he is unable to strike with his hands due to the paralysis in them and the lack of movement, then he is excused, meaning a Muslim comes and strikes the earth with his hands and wipes the patient’s face and hands with them, intending to do so. That is, the patient intends this, and the means takes his place in the action. Yes.
