v How will you perform Salah if you are sick?
Salah or prayer is obligatory worship for Muslim and we should never ever miss it but if we are sick how to offer it ? i am going to accentuate something on this subject .
First of all we are going to learn from the holy Quran then Hadith .
Almighty Allah says in the holy quran [ para [part] no 3 surah no 2 , and verses 286] that On no soul doth Allah place a burden greater than it can bear .
It has mentioned in [ Abu Daud sharif] that prophet [s] said to imran bin hussain that perform salah standing , if you are not be able to stand , then perform while sitting , and take help with wall, and sleeping on the bed .
we all suffer from sickness , it is a natural process but many of us never pay attention to remembering Almighty Allah during in illness .Many times we neglect our salah when we are sick because the only thing revolves in our mind is fast recovery .
whatever the circumstance are? no one can avoid the salah because salah is obligatory .
Whoever has some excuse due to illness and cannot stand during the obligatory prayer is allowed to offer sitting , he may pray while on his side by making gestures .In such a situation his gestures for {sujud] prostration should be lower than those for his {Ruku} bowing .This principle is based on Allah 's words, and celebrate Allah's praises ,standing , sitting and lying on your sides.
Islam is a flexible religion so there are soft corners as well . If someone is too weak to be able to stand for prayer then he can offer prayer while sitting , if he is unable to sit then he lies on his back and perform prayer .While lying and ever if someone is such unable that lying down but he cannot bow then he can perform prayer while hinting .This is because obedience to Almighty Allah .
Mentioned In The Hadith ;
{1} If someone is too weak to able to stand , then he will perform the bowing and prostrations while sitting .
{2} If one is not able to sit , he will lie on his back supported by a pillow to incline his upper body and stretches his legs in the direction of the prayer , hinting at bows and prostration .
{3} If someone that is unable to sit lied down on his side , facing his chest in the direction of the prayer while hinting then his prayer is also valid .However with ones legs stretched is better , because the hints point in the prayer is direction.
{4} If one is not be able to hint by his head then he delays the prayer and does not hint by his eyes , heart , or eyebrows .
{5} If one is able to stand , but not to perform bowing and prostration then he does not have to stand ,but sits and hints at the movements . He may stand but the best is to sit .
{6} If someone praying seated , while performing complete bowing and prostrations due to illness and became well during the prayer then he builds upon what has been done and performs the rest standing, he stands what it is required .
{7} If someone started prying optionally while standing but became weak , then it is acceptable for him to lean on a stick or wall or sit down . Because this is an excuse .
{8} If he started leaning during optional prayer without an excuse then this is dislike , it is improper behavior .
{9} If he seat [ during an optional prayer after having stood at the beginning] without any excuse then it is disliked but valid.
{10] If someone prays seated in a boat [ while sailing ] without being sick , it is valid but standing is better .
{11} The one who loses consciousness or sanity for five consecutive prayer times or less must make them up . If it is more ,then he does not have to pray them.
We never know when our last prayer would be make the most of it and offer every salah as if , it is going to be last salah maybe . If a sick person is unable perform all the articles of the prayer , he may perform only those which he can . May Allah protect us form all kinds of disease. Ameen
