Is a daughter afflicted with psychosis, who does not pray, held accountable for abandoning prayer, knowing that her illness requires medication to help her live a semi-normal life?
If the illness leads to a loss of sanity, then the sick person is not obligated to pray. However, if it does not affect the mind, then it is not permissible to abandon prayer, and the Muslim must pray according to their ability, whether standing or sitting.
