Q 1: An old woman
wants to offer Salah (Prayer) but she does not memorize any Ayahs of the Holy Qur’an.
Her husband tried to teach her but she failed. How should she offer Salah?
A:
A Muslim person, be they a man or woman, have to learn the Fatihah as much as they can to recite it in Salah. If they cannot, they may recite instead: "Tasbih (saying: "Subhan Allah [Glory be to Allah]"), Tahmid (saying: "Al-hamdu lillah [All praise is due to Allah]"), Takbir (saying: "Allahu Akbar [Allah is the Greatest]"), or say "There is neither might nor power except with Allah, the Most High, the Most Great!", because the Prophet (peace be upon him) said:
“Whatever you know of the Qur’an, recite it, otherwise praise Allah, proclaim His Oneness and magnify Him then bow down.”
