What is the ruling on prayers that were not performed during a period of illness in the hospital, and how are they to be made up?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
A sick person must pray according to their capacity, as long as they are conscious and aware, and it is not permissible for them to delay it. However, if they completely lose consciousness (faint), then prayer is waived for them in this situation, and they are not required to make up the prayers after regaining consciousness. Based on this, if you did not lose consciousness when you stopped praying, then you must make up all missed prayers and repent to Allah.
