Question:
The questioner says: Shaykh, a sick person prays lying down and is unable to face the qiblah. I want to lead him in prayer as an imam. How should I line up with him?
Answer:
He prays according to his condition. If he is unable to face the qiblah, that is excused for him, and his prayer is valid. There is no harm in you facing the qiblah while he prays with you according to his condition[Al-Baqarah 2:286]. Yes. Praise be to Allah.

Allah does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacity
لَا يُكَلِّفُ اللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا
