Prayer and Ablution for One Who Has Suffered a Stroke

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We are taking a call from Bandar in 'Ar'ar. Hello, peace be upon you. And upon you be peace. Good evening, and to the honorable Shaykh. Shaykh, my father suffered a stroke, which caused him to be disabled. Sometimes he prays, and sometimes he does not. For twenty-four hours, he is in a state of ritual impurity, and we do not know how to handle the prayer in this case. The second matter, Shaykh, is that we do not know what these circumstances are that are happening to us, with all the confusion and requests for a moment. The woman. No, let us stick to your first question. His father is afflicted with a stroke, and he says: Honorable Shaykh, sometimes he prays and sometimes he does not. How do we deal with people like this?

Answer:
You should keep him away from ritual impurity and purify his clothes if that is possible. Also, regarding the ablution, you inform him about it and help him with it, or you perform the ablution for him. Then you order him to pray, and he prays according to his condition.
