Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says that he is ill and prays lying down, and he is unable to face the qiblah, and he wants to lead the prayer. So how should I line up behind him?
Answer:
He cannot be the imam in this state. It is not valid for one who is unable to perform a pillar or an obligatory act to lead the prayer. However, it is valid for him to follow a healthy person, in which case he would be a ma'mum. Yes.
