Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Among the questions sent by the brothers: What is required of an elderly person, O Shaykh, and a sick person whose recovery is not expected, regarding fasting and prayer, O Honorable Shaykh?

Answer:
As for the prayer, he prays according to his ability, standing, sitting, or on his side, as in the hadith.
And as for fasting, if he is unable to fastوأما الصيام فإذا كان لا يستطيع الصيام
If he is not present and not facing the qiblah, and he is unable to fast, neither to perform it nor to make it up, then he feeds on his behalf for each day the amount of one and a half kilograms of food, which is collected and given to the poor. Yes.
