The patient who cannot use water to remove ritual impurity

Q: I am a bedridden patient and I cannot move. How can I perform Taharah (ritual purification) to offer Salah (Prayer)? How can I offer Salah itself?

A: All praise be to Allah Alone, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger, and his family and Companions! First: as for Taharah, Muslims should purify themselves with water. If they cannot use it due to an illness or so, they should perform Tayammum (dry ablution with clean earth). If they cannot do it, they are exempted from the duty of Taharah, and they should offer Salah in their current state, as Allah (Exalted be He) says (what means), (Part No. 5; Page No. 347) So keep your duty to Allâh and fear Him as much as you can (Surah Al-Taghabun, 64: 16). He also says, ...and He has not laid upon you in religion any hardship (Surah Al-Hajj, 22: 78). As for the urine or feces discharged, it is enough to perform Istijmar (cleansing the private parts with hard material after urination or defecation) with a stone, dry clod of clay or clean wipes for three times or more until the area is clean. Second: as for Salah, a patient should offer Salah while standing up. If they cannot do it, they should offer it while sitting. If they cannot do it, they should offer it while lying on their side, as was authentically reported from ‘Imran ibn Husayn that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “Offer Salah while standing; if you cannot, then while sitting; and if you cannot then while lying on your side.” Allah also says, So keep your duty to Allâh and fear Him as much as you can May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
