Helping a Wife Who Forgets in Prayer

The questioner:
The brother 'Ali says: My wife has started to lose her memory, and she forgets the number of rak'ahs, and she needs to be reminded. What is the religious ruling on helping her and following up with her to perform the obligatory acts?

The Shaykh:
Help her. If someone intends to do so and sits with her to ensure she gets her prayer right, that is a good thing, and there is reward for the one praying and for the one who follows up with him.

The presenter:
Yes. So, with this answer, we have reached, along with you, the end of this episode. We thank and appreciate our guest, Your Excellency the Shaykh, the scholar Salih ibn Fawzan al-Fawzan, a member of the Council of Senior Scholars and a member of the Permanent Committee for Scholarly Research and Ifta, who answered your questions and inquiries. May Allah reward you, Your Excellency the Shaykh Salih.

The Shaykh:
May Allah greet you and bless you.
