Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, there are people from the desert, all of whom make mistakes in reciting al-Fatihah, and the best among them is a bedridden man who does not make mistakes, and his recitation is correct. What is the ruling on his leading them in the obligatory prayer and the tarawih prayer?
Answer:
A bedridden man does not lead them in prayer because he is unable to perform a pillar; he is unable to perform a pillar. However, if the imam is originally the imam of the neighborhood, originally, on a day when he is well and in good condition, and an unexpected circumstance befalls him, like what happened to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), where an unexpected circumstance befall him, then there is no harm in his leading them while sitting until his excuse is removed, and then he leads them while standing. As for a person who is known to be bedridden, meaning permanently bedridden, and it is not expected that his condition will be removed, it is not valid for him to be an imam, because he is unable to perform the bowing. One of them, the best among them, leads them, as much as possible, or he requests
