My question is, can I offer prayer in the hospital during the dialysis session especially my location is against the <em>Qiblah<\/em> direction and I cannot change it anyway?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Answer:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>First of all there is no excuse for quitting prayer in Islam. A person who cannot perform ablution can make <em>tayammum<\/em> (dry ablution). A person who cannot stand or sit down can pray while lying down by moving his head. It means that no Muslim who is sane and without a legal excuse can neither miss nor delay his\/her prayer. Even if you are going to make up for the missed prayer later, still you will be held accountable \u00a0for not praying on time.<\/p>\n<p>Responding to this question, <strong>Sheikh Ahmad Al-Hijji Al-Kurdi<\/strong>, an expert in the Encyclopedia of Jurisprudence and a member of the Kuwaiti Ifta&#8217; department of the Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs, states:<\/p>\n<p>It is better to make up for the missed prayers because of dialysis sessions after returning home. May Allah grant you a speedy recovery!<\/p>\n<p>__________________<\/p>\n<p><em>Source: Islamic-Fatwa.com.<\/em><a href='https:\/\/prayerinislam.com\/medically-treated-hours-offer-prayers\/' target='_blank'>Soucre Link<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Can I offer prayer in the hospital during the dialysis session especially my location is against the Qiblah direction and I cannot change it anyway?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6909,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1799,1563],"tags":[1861,3615,1568,1569,5679,5680,5681,5682,1575,5683,4998,1852,1576,1577,5684],"class_list":["post-6907","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fatwas-rulings","category-prayer-in-islam","tag-direction-of-prayer","tag-fatwas","tag-how-muslims-pray","tag-how-to-pray","tag-offering-prayer-in-hospital","tag-prayer-during-sickness","tag-prayer-for-excused-persons","tag-prayer-for-sick-person","tag-prayer-in-islam","tag-prayer-of-the-patient","tag-qiblah","tag-rulings-of-prayer","tag-salah","tag-salat","tag-sick"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/imuslim.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Medically-Treated-for-Hours.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"brizy_media":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/imuslim.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6907","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/imuslim.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/imuslim.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/imuslim.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/imuslim.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6907"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/imuslim.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6907\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/imuslim.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/6909"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/imuslim.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6907"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/imuslim.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6907"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/imuslim.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6907"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
