The ruling on one who is unable to recite in the prayer

Question : Honorable Shaykh, peace be upon you. I have a grandmother, praise be to Allah, who is eager to perform the prayer at its time, but due to her advanced age, she does not recite a single surah correctly; she distorts all the verses, and this is not of her own volition. Sometimes she recites a verse before another or omits some of the letters. Whenever I try to teach her, she refuses and says, “By the mercy of Allah,” so I left it off because of my inability to convince her. Am I sinful for that? And is she also sinful for this? Knowing that she is not of an age of senility.

Answer : It is obligatory for him to teach this woman with gentleness and softness. I am afraid that her saying, "I know" or "I am more knowledgeable" or "I am stingy," for example, is because the guidance and teaching hurt her. So it is obligatory to teach her with gentleness. He should say, for example, "The time for the midday prayer has entered," and then say, "Pray the midday prayer." If she forgets how many units she has prayed, let him stay with her so he can teach her. He should say, "This is the first unit, this is the second, this is the third, this is the fourth." And let him fear Allah the Exalted as much as he is able, and for what he is unable to do, Allah . Yes.
