The ruling on the prayer of a patient who is unable to perform wudu' or tayammum

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner is asking about his father, who is ill in the hospital and has been unable to move for six months. He cannot move at all, and he cannot perform tayammum or wudu'. Does he pray without wudu' while lying on the bed?

Answer:
If he is unable to perform wudu' and unable to perform tayammum, he prays according to his condition, even without wudu' and without tayammum. But I do not think he is unable to perform tayammum. He can perform tayammum while on his bed, lying down, by striking with his hand and wiping his face and his palm, or one of the people present with him, or those who are stronger than him, can do it for him by striking the dust and blowing it onto the patient's face and his palms. Yes.
