Combining Prayers and Dry Ablution for the Sick and the Disabled
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The best thing is that the solution for the sick person is to combine the prayers if he is disabled and climbs up on it like this, and he performs tayammum and wudu'.
The Shaykh:
And we see the president.
The questioner:
He asks: Does the sick person combine the prayers if he is disabled and it is difficult for him to stand? And does he perform tayammum instead of wudu'? He also asks: Is it obligatory for him to perform tayammum between every prayer? And is it permissible for him to combine the prayers of one day?
The Shaykh:
Now he says sick and he says disabled. Which one is the sick person? Even if he is not disabled, if he needs to combine, he combines, and if he needs to perform tayammum, he performs tayammum, even if he is not disabled. As for the disabled person, it is according to his condition. If he is able, if he is able to purify himself with water, he purifies himself; otherwise, he performs tayammum. Praise be to Allah, he prays every prayer in its time according to his ability, because the disability is permanent, it is not an illness like an illness which is temporary. Yes.
The questioner:
Seventy.
The Shaykh:
Perform tayammum if one is unable to use water, if one is unable to use water or if water is absent, in two cases: the case of the absence of water and the case of inability to use it despite its presence, perform tayammum, yes.
The questioner:
After days, for every prayer.
The Shaykh:
Yes, he performs tayammum for every prayer, because tayammum is a permit, not a remover of the state of ritual impurity, it is a permit for prayer only, yes.
