Explanation of Some Rulings of Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : regarding the rulings of the Shari'ah. Now, if a person is unable even to gesture with his eyes, some scholars said: "The prayer is dropped from him; the prayer is dropped from him, because he cannot perform the essence of the prayer in this state. The essence of the prayer consists of actions and words."
And some scholars said: "Rather, he speaks with his tongue what is said and intends with his heart what is done." This means, for example, he says the takbir and recites al-Fatihah, then he says the takbir and intends, what? Ruku'. Then he says, "Allahu ma' shakir li man hamidah," and intends standing up. This is the correct opinion. As long as the mind remains intact, the prayer is not dropped. He intends the actions with his heart and speaks the words with his tongue. If he is unable even to speak and act, he prays with what? He prays with his heart. So the prayer is not dropped as long as his mind is intact. I think the time has now ended; let us take the hadiths.

The Shaykh : There is a quarter of an hour left for questions.
The questioner : The people's question... O Shaykh.

The Shaykh : The man climbed over...
The questioner : Yes, he climbed over, O... allow me.
The Shaykh : Do you allow him?
The student: ...
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : Come on.
