Tayammum for the Sick in Hospitals
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
There are Muslim patients in hospitals, but some of them are injured or have undergone many surgeries, and they are unable to perform the prayer or the ablution, and they cannot find anyone to assist them with it. Is it possible to place a container with soil in it for them to use for tayammum, or is it not?
Answer:
I have visited hospitals, and they have made it a general practice to place some soil in a container or a bag under the chair for them to perform tayammum with when they are unable to perform the ablution. The preachers pass by them and teach them, so that perhaps they may be excused.
