Praying on the Left Side for the Sick Person
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If a person is able to pray on his left side facing the qiblah, is he required to do so, or should he proceed directly to lying on his back?
Answer:
On his back, yes, because there is no report of praying on the left side. So if he cannot pray on his right side, he prays on his back, lying down. Yes.
