Remember also that she was ill and unable to concentrate, so her mother would say, may Allah reward her with good, and help her perform the ablution, then she would pray, saying:

The questioner : Remember also that she was ill and unable to concentrate, so her mother would say, may Allah reward her with good, and help her perform the ablution, then she would pray. She says: I was lying on the bed and combining the midday and afternoon prayers, and the sunset and night prayers. However, during the prayer, drowsiness would overcome me for a few seconds, then I would wake up, and I did not know how much I had prayed or what I had recited in the prayer. This continued for three consecutive days. So, O honorable Shaykh, do I have to repeat the prayers?

The Shaykh : As long as she is aware of what she is saying, but only dozes off briefly in a way that does not invalidate the ablution, she does not have to repeat the prayer. There is no blame on her if her mother was with her and made her recite the phrases, saying for example: Say Allahu Akbar, recite, bow, prostrate, say this. There is no blame on her.
As for combining prayers, she may combine the midday and afternoon prayers, and the sunset and night prayers. This is because the door for combining is wide; whenever it becomes difficult for a person to pray each prayer in its time for any reason, he may combine the midday and afternoon prayers, and the sunset and night prayers. The evidence for this is what Muslim narrated in his Sahih from Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him and his father): They said: What did he intend by that? Meaning, what did he intend by this? Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) said: He intended not to burden his Ummah.
That is: not to cause them hardship in not combining.
