The Ruling on the Prayer of a Patient in the Operating Room
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A patient who spends continuous hours in the operating room, and multiple prayer times pass while he is inside, how should he deal with the prayer?
Answer:
If the prayer becomes obligatory before he enters the operation, he prays the current prayer and combines with it the prayer that follows it, such as combining 'Asr with Zuhr, or 'Isha' with Maghrib, as a combination in advance. If he entered the operation before the time of the first prayer began, he intends to delay the first prayer to be combined with the second, thus combining them as a combination in delay. This is if the procedure does not take a long time. However, if it takes a long time, spanning extended hours, then he makes up the prayers if he is able to do so after finishing the operation. He makes up the times that passed while he was in the operation, and this is done in the order of the obligatory prayers. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
