Missing salaah in the Musjid to care for one's mother

Submitted by user2 on Sat, 2017-10-07 06:58

Q: I want to ask about my prayer. Can I pray at home as my mother is bedridden for the last 5 years and she needs a lot of care the whole day; from eating, drinking, changing, etc. like a toddler. Its very difficult for me to join fard prayer on time. Please advice.

A: The better thing will be that you arrange with a caregiver for your mother. If this is not possible for some reason then the namaaz that you can make at the musjid make it at the musjid.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
