The ruling on a son leading his sick father in prayer at home
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: My father is very old and ill, and he cannot pray in the mosque. He asks me to pray with him in the house in congregation, with me as the imam. Should I count it as a voluntary prayer, or should I count it as a voluntary prayer and join the congregation in the mosque?
Answer:
He is excused and prays in his house. As for you, you have no excuse, so you pray in the mosque, unless your father needs you to remind him and teach him the prayer because he forgets or is inattentive; in that case, you pray with him, and there is no harm in you being his imam. But if he is able to pray by himself, he prays in his house because he is excused, and as for you, you pray in the mosque. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
