Prayer on behalf of the deceased who missed three days of fasting due to his illness
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Your Eminence the Shaykh, my father passed away a year ago, and he had the prayer of three days that he did not pray during his illness, the Asr prayer, because he was unable to pray.
Answer:
He owes nothing if his mind was with him. If his mind was lost, then there is no prayer required of him. However, if his mind was intact and he abandoned the prayer thinking that he was excused, that is a mistake. He should pray according to his condition. As long as his mind is intact, he prays according to his condition,[Al-Baqarah 2:286]. So if he abandoned the prayer while his mind was with him, he has erred. This is a debt on his record, and Allah will forgive him. As for you, do not pray on his behalf, because the prayer does not admit delegation, and no one prays on behalf of another. Yes.
