What is the ruling on a disabled woman praying without ablution if she is unable to perform it and her children are unable to assist her?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Children must help their mother with her purification, otherwise, it will be considered disobedience for which Allah will hasten their punishment. They must repent and apologize to her. If a sick person is unable to perform ablution and cannot find anyone to help them, even for a fee, then they should perform . If they cannot find anything with which to perform tayammum, they should pray according to their condition. If all means become impossible, they should pray without ablution or tayammum, as Allah Almighty says: (Allah does not burden a soul beyond its capacity).
