The Ritual Purity of the Sick Person and His Prayer with Tayammum
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Among the questions that have come in, this questioner says to us: A sick relative of ours has his family washing his entire body once a day. He may pray the prayer, O Shaykh Salih, while there is some ritual impurity on his body, and he performs tayammum for every prayer. He has a tube for draining urine, may Allah protect you. Is it obligatory for the family to empty the bag for every prayer, even though that is a great hardship for them and for those who serve him?
Answer:
Allah the Exalted said:[At-Taghabun 64:16] The sick person prays according to his condition. If he is able to achieve ritual purity with water, that is the default. If he is not able, he performs tayammum with clean earth, striking it and wiping his face and hands, and he prays, and praise be to Allah. Yes.

So fear Allah as much as you are able
فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ
