The prayer of one who has lost his mind due to illness, and what is required of his children
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: A person suffered a stroke, may Allah protect us and you, and he is in the hospital. He does not recognize anyone and does not pray. He asks: What is required of his children? Do they give charity on his behalf for the missed prayers? Or what should they do?
Answer:
They owe nothing. Since he does not have his mind, he is not required to pray, and he is not subject to religious obligations, praise be to Allah. Yes.
