  • Should Old People Clean Themselves Before Prayer?

    Posted by Muhammad on July 6, 2023 at 3:24 pm

    There are homeless old people who cannot walk. They sometimes urinate and defecate while wearing their clothes as they cannot walk. So if some person like this who has defeated or urinated while wearing clothes and soon(it can be days) he cannot clean it and prayer time has come…so should it just do tayayyum and pray without cleaning or should he just wait till he gets clean...what is ruling regarding people like these people… How should they remember Allah..Also sometimes these people don’t have hands also.

    If a person is not in a state to clean himself, he can offer prayer in the same state. if washing is not possible he can do Tayammum. The same principle of providing ease in worship in a state of hardship is applied here.
