Rule- If a sick person is unable to face the Qib l a by herself or by someone's assistance then namaaz should be read in whatever direction and after regaining health there is no need to repeat the namaaz. However ifthere was somebody present there who could have assisted in facing the Qibla but she did not ask then namaaz will not be done. Also there is no need to repeat the namaaz read by gesturing after gaining health. (Raddul-Muhtaar) Rule- Ifby keeping fast one i s unable to stand and perform Salaah but by not keeping fast she is able to stand and make namaaz then the order is that she keep the fast andperformthesalaah sitting. (Alamghiri) Rule- If namaaz became Qadhaa in sickness and after gaining health one intends to perform them then they should be read just as how namaaz is made in health. If she sits and gestures then the namaaz will not be done. However if namaaz became Qadhaa in health and in sickness one wishes to complete them then they should be read in whatever manner possible, the namaaz will be done. To read them like in health is notWaajib. (Alamghiri) Rule- If a professional Muslim doctor (who knows cmd respects the commands ofthe deen) orders a personwho underwent an eye-operation to lie down then she is allowed by the Shariah to lie down and make namaaz gesturing. (Durre-Mukhtaar) . AN IMPORTANT NOTE Except for a few exclusive and rare situations the Shariat has not forgiven Salaah in any case. Rather it has ordered that it be performed in anymanner possible. Today for a small headache or cold, namaaz is left out by both women and men. They should take heed of all the punishment in store for those who do so. Allah keep us in His protection, Ameen.
