Question:
Also, the brother Muhammad says: My mother is very old, close to a hundred years old, and she is very forgetful. She asks about the dead and the living and then forgets them, and she does not perform the prayer properly. Is she sinful for that?
Answer:
She is not sinful for that. If she does what she is able to do, she is not sinful for what she is unable to do. Praise be to Allah. Allah said:[Al-Hajj 22:78] Praise be to Allah. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
