Salah of a patient suffering from hemorrhoids

774

Q 4: Someone is suffering from piles. May Allah protect us all from evils. This person cannot perform Salah (Prayer) in its due time. He delays performing Salah until night when he takes off his clothes. (Part No. 8; Page No. 76) Then he performs the five daily Salahs. This is because his clothes are soiled with impurity due to hemorrhoids. Is he permitted to do so? Should he perform Salah in its prescribed time?

A: He has to perform every Salah in its prescribed time as much as he possibly can. Allah does not charge a soul except with what is within its capacity. He is not to be blamed for what comes out due to hemorrhoids after making Wudu' (ablution) and during Salah if he makes Wudu' after the coming of the prescribed time of Salah.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
