Question : The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, I went into labor, so I went to the hospital. There, they gave me an injection and I fell asleep. Then they woke me up at four in the morning to go to the delivery room. The call to the Fajr prayer had been made at three-thirty, and I went to the delivery room without praying Fajr. Does this prayer become a debt on me? And how do I pray it when I am in a state of extreme exhaustion?
Answer : If the time for prayer entered upon this woman who was in labor and the blood of post-natal bleeding had come out of her, then she owes nothing, because the woman in post-natal bleeding is not required to pray. However, if the time entered upon her while she was in a state of purity and no post-natal blood had come out of her, but she was unable to pray in that condition, then she must make it up when she becomes pure from the post-natal bleeding. Yes, that is correct.
