Qadhaa Salaah in the hospital bed

· 27 Shawwal 1443 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Whilst in hospital, I missed my Fajr Salaah. At the time, I was unable to perform Salaah whilst standing or sitting. The only way I could have performed the Salaah was whilst lying down in bed. I later made the Qadha in the hospital bed whilst lying down. Is my Qadha valid?

Answer

The Qadhaa of the missed Fajr Salaah (during your stay in hospital) performed whilst lying down (with gestures for Ruku and Sajdah), was valid and does not have to be repeated.

How do I make up missed salaah (qadha)?

“Performing Qadha salaah in one's home or in the musjid is permissible. However, after the time of fajr enters and after performing your asr salaah, if you wish to perform Qadha salaah, then perform it in your home.”
