Excuses for missing Salah?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In the name of Allah, the most Beneficent, the most Merciful. <\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Answer <\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n It is narrated by Saaiduna Jabir Radiallahu Anhu that the Prophet of Allah Sallallahu Alahi Wasalam said \u201cBetween man and disbelief is the abandonment of Salah\u201d.\u00a0 (Mishkaatul Masaabeeh p.58 v.1)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In another hadith the Prophet of Allah Sallallahu Alahi Wasalam has said \u201cThe agreement that is between us and them is the prayer. Whoever leaves it has disbelieved\u201d.\u00a0 (Mishkaatul Masaabeeh p.58 v.1)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Allah (SWA) in the Holy Quran says \u201cWhat has brought you to (Saqar Hell)?\u00a0 They will say, We were not among those who offered Salah\u201d.\u00a0 (Surah Muddaththir v.42-43)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n From the moment a child reaches the age of puberty or a person accepts Imaan, Salah becomes compulsory.\u00a0 The Shariah does go to great lengths to accommodate our circumstances.\u00a0 If you cannot stand, you can offer it sitting down.\u00a0 If you cannot sit, you can offer it lying down.\u00a0 If you are travelling, you offer two rakats instead of four for Zuhr, Asr and Ishaa prayers and so on.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n However, if a woman is experiencing her periods (haidh) or nifaas then she is exempted from praying her Salah.\u00a0 (Raddul Muhtar p.484 v.1)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Similarly, if a person faints or is unconscious for a full day and night or more, he must not perform the Salah he has missed.\u00a0 He is exempted from performing them and there is no qaza.\u00a0 (Raddul Muhtar p.573 v.2)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Furthermore, if a patient has no strength to even move the head for isharaa (gestures), then one should not perform the Salah.\u00a0 If his condition continues for more than a day and night, one will not need to read qaza for the missed prayers.\u00a0 However, if one gains the strength of moving the head for gestures within a day or night in a period less than that, qaza will have to be performed for the missed Salah.\u00a0 (Raddul Muhtar p.570 v.2)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Only Allah Knows Best<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Mohammed Tosir Miah<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Darul Ifta Birmingham.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Excuses for missing Salah?
