NAMAAZ OF A SICK PERSON
A person is ALLOWED to perform his SALAAT in the SITTING POSITION under these
circumstances:
When a SICK person has NO STRENGTH to STAND and perform his Salaat.
STANDING causes him GREAT PAIN.
It may INCREASE his ILLNESS.
When a SICK person is ABLE to STAND but CANNOT go into RUKU or SAJDA.
If a person does NOT have the strength to make RUKU or SAJDA, then the Ruku and
Sajdah must be made by ISHARA (gestures), i.e. BOWING the HEAD SLIGHTLY for RUKU
and MORE for SAJDA.
If a person CANNOT perform his Salaat SITTING, then he should person it LYING DOWN.
E.g. LIE: down on the BACK with the LEGS towards the QIBLA.
The LEGS should NOT be STRETCHED but the KNEES should be RAISED.
The HEAD should REST at a HIGH LEVEL with a PILLOW under it.
The Salaat must be made by ISHARA (gesture), but for SAJDA he should BOW his
HEAD MORE than for RUKU.
This is the BEST and MOST PREFERRED POSTURE.
If the KNEES CANNOT be RAISED then one CAN STRETCH one's LEGS towards the QIBLA
but the HEAD should be RAISED and FACING the QIBLAH
One may also LIE down on the RIGHT SIDE with the HEAD towards the QIBLA or the LEFT
SIDE with the HEAD towards the QIBLA. However, it is PREFERABLE to LIE on the RIGHT
SIDE.
If a person FAINTS for LESS than a FULL DAY and NIGHT, he MUST perform the missed
number of Salaat.
However, if he FAINTS for a FULL day and night or more, he must not perform the Salaat
he has missed. He is EXEMPTED from performing them and there is NO QAZAA.
If the patient has NO STRENGTH even to MOVE the HEAD for ISHARA (gesture), then one
should NOT perform the Salaat.
If this condition continues for MORE than a DAY and NIGHT, one will NOT be BOUND to
perform QAZA. for the missed number of Salaat.
If one GAINS the strength of moving the HEAD for ISHARA (gesture) within a day or night
or in a period lesser than that, the QAZA will have to be performed for the five or lesser
Salaat.
NB. TAYAMMUM is PERMITTED when it is KNOWN by one's OWN EXPERIENCE or a
GOOD DOCTOR says that the USE of WATER would DEFINITELY be INJURIOUS to
one's HEALTH.
