Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner, Abu Salem, says: Shaykh, our father is ill, and we, his children, wash his entire body once a day. He may pray, Shaykh, while there is some ritual impurity on his body, and he performs dry ablution with clean earth for every prayer. He has a tube for discharging urine, may Allah keep you safe. Are we required to empty the bag for every prayer, given the difficulty involved?
Answer:
Yes, you are required to do what you are able to and what you can manage, and to strive to maintain the ritual purity of this sick or elderly man for his prayer, in his clothes, on his body, and on the place where he prays. You must assist him in this. Yes.
