Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I have a father who has suffered a stroke, may Allah keep us and you safe from it, and it has caused him a tremor, and he gets tired at times.
The Shaykh:
It caused him.
The questioner:
A tremor.
The Shaykh:
A tremor or a shiver, that is the point.
The questioner:
So he gets tired at times and is energetic at others. His question is: Is it permissible for him to miss the time of prayer and pray at another time?
The Shaykh:
Is it permissible for him?
The questioner:
Missing the time of the prayer.
The Shaykh:
No, if he needs to combine, he combines the two prayers, if he needs to combine. As for letting the prayer go beyond its time, no, that is not permissible. If he does not intend to combine, and the only one who lets the prayer go beyond its time is the one who intends to combine it with the one that follows, there is no harm. Otherwise, he prays according to his condition before the time ends, according to his condition before the time ends, yes.
