The Prayer of a Sick Person Who Cannot Perform Ablution
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: My father is sick in the hospital and has not been able to move for six months. He cannot move at all, and he cannot perform tayammum (dry ablution with clean earth) or wudu' (the ablution for prayer). Does he pray without wudu' while lying on the bed?
Answer:
If he is unable to perform wudu' and unable to perform tayammum, then he prays according to his condition, even without wudu' and without tayammum. But I do not think he is unable to perform tayammum. Tayammum, tayammum while he is on his bed and twisted, he strikes with his hand and wipes over his face and his palm, or one of the people trying to help him changes his position and rubs him with dust by striking the dust on his face and wiping over the face of the deceased and his palms. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
