How a sick person will perform salah


1. When it is impossible for a sick person to stand, he prays sitting, performing ruku` and sujud. if he is unable to perform ruku` and sujud, he makes gestures with his head, and makes the sujud lower than the ruku`. He should not raise anything to his face to perform sujud on it.

2. If he is unable to sit, he lies down on his back, puts his legs towards the qiblah, and gestures for ruku` and sujud. If he lay down on his side, with his face toward the qiblah, and gestured, it is valid.

3. If he is unable to gesture with his head, he delays the salah; he does not [have to] indicate with his eyes, nor with his heart, nor with his eyelids.

4. If he is capable of standing, but is not capable of ruku` and sujud, he is not required to stand [for the gesturing of ruku`]. It is permissible for him to pray [standing only for recitation, and then] sitting [while] making gestures.

5. If a healthy person prayed part of his salah standing, and then some illness ensued [rendering him incapable of standing], he completes it sitting, performing ruku` and sujud, or gesturing if he is not able to [perform] ruku` and sujud, or lying down if he is not able to sit.

6. Someone who, on account of illness, prayed sitting, performing ruku` and sujud, and then became healthy, continues his salah standing. But, if he prayed part of his salah with gestures, and then became capable of ruku` and sujud, he re-starts the salah.

7.Someone who loses consciousness for five prayers or less makes them up when he recovers, but if he misses more than that due to unconsciousness, he does not make [them] up.
