Some of the rulings concerning the Ṣalāt of a sick person

[islamkingdom]

1- When a sick person observes Ṣalāt in a sitting position and he is capable of prostrating, then prostration is compulsory for him.
2- When he observes Ṣalāt while sitting, but is incapable of performing the prostration, then he gestures with his body with regards to bowing and prostration, making his prostration lower than his bowing. If motioning with his body becomes difficult, then he gestures with his head. Also, this is the manner in which he performs Ṣalāt while praying on his back – i.e. gestures with his head.3- If performing ablution for each Salat becomes difficult for a sick person or observing the Ṣalāt at their prescribed period is unbearable, then he can observe Ḍhuhr and ‘Asr together, as well as Maghrib and Isha’, by combining both Ṣalāt in the time of the former or the latter, according to what is convenient for him.4- The sick person is not excused from Salat as long as his senses remain in tact. Thus it is not proper for the sick person to take Ṣalāt lightly on account of his sickness. He should try as much as possible to observe his Ṣalāt.5- If the sick person was unconscious for some days and later becomes conscious, he is to observes Ṣalāt when he regains his consciousness, according to his ability. He is not to re-offer the Ṣalāt missed during his unconsciousness. However, if his unconsciousness is mild, a day or two for instance, he is to re-offer the missed prayers whenever that (paying the prayers back) becomes possible for him.
