The Paralyzed Woman Who Cannot Move: Is Hajj Exempted from Her?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The questioner, Umm Maryam, says: I have a paralyzed daughter who cannot move. Is the obligation of Hajj and other acts of worship dropped from her? She is fourteen years old. I ask you for guidance?
The Shaykh : As long as she is fourteen years old and has not reached puberty by any of the signs of puberty, nothing of the acts of worship is obligatory upon her except zakah. This is because she has not reached puberty. It was reported in a hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said:Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1423Hasan (Darussalam) until he wakes up. So this girl has no obligation of Hajj, fasting, or prayer if she has not reached puberty. If she has reached puberty, then she is required to pray, meaning.
Prayer in its times, standing. If she has reached puberty, then it is obligatory upon her to pray the five prayers in their times according to her ability, by the saying of Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He:[At-Taghabun 64:16] and His saying: [Al-Baqarah 2:286] and the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): Sahih al-Bukhari 7288. May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh, and may Allah bless you.
The Shaykh : As long as she is fourteen years old and has not reached puberty by any of the signs of puberty, nothing of the acts of worship is obligatory upon her except zakah. This is because she has not reached puberty. It was reported in a hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said:
The pen has been lifted from three

So fear Allah as much as you are able
فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْAllah does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacity
لَا يُكَلِّفُ اللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَاAnd if I order you to do something, then do of it as much as you can.
إذا أمرتكم بأمر فأتوا منه ما استطعتم
