A sick person praying in the condition their health permits them


667

Q 2: How should a person lying down due to illness perform Salah (prayer)? How can he do the actions of Salah?


A: A person who is ill is asked to perform the acts of Salah according to his ability to do so. Allah (Exalted be He) says, (Part No. 8; Page No. 71)  Allâh burdens not a person beyond his scope. And So keep your duty to Allâh and fear Him as much as you can The Prophet (peace be upon him) said to `Imran, Perform Salah while standing and if you cannot, perform it while sitting and if you cannot do even that, then perform it lying on your side. This Hadith was reported by Al-Bukhari. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
