Assisting the one who is unable to perform wudu' or tayammum
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If there is a man who is unable to perform wudu' or tayammum for prayer except with the help of someone, am I required to bring him water and wash his hands and the rest of his limbs?
Answer:
Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said:[Al-Ma'idah 5:2] This is part of cooperating in righteousness and piety. By helping your brother with his wudu', you are helping him with his prayer and helping him do good. You share in the reward for this, so seek the reward. However, if it happens that a sick person or an elderly person has no one present to help him, he prays according to his condition. Allah the Exalted said: [At-Taghabun 64:16] If he is able to perform wudu', he performs wudu'; if he is not able, he performs tayammum. If he is not able to do either and has no one with him, he prays according to his condition, even without tayammum or wudu', because this is the limit of what he is able to do. Yes.

Answer:
Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said:
And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression.
وَتَعَاوَنُوا عَلَى الْبِرِّ وَالتَّقْوَىٰ وَلَا تَعَاوَنُوا عَلَى الْإِثْمِ وَالْعُدْوَانِSo fear Allah as much as you are able
فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ
