Abandoning Salah due to severe illness and then dying
A:
It is obligatory
on someone who is ill to perform Salah according to their ability, as long as they are conscious. (Part No. 6; Page No. 381) We hope that Allah will forgive your father for abandoning Salah during his illness out of ignorance. Many people commit this mistake, hoping to perform Salah in a more purified state after their recovery and abstain from Salah without Taharah (ritual purification) or while ritually impure. We also hope that Allah forgives your father for being negligent in offering Salah in congregation and other deeds. So, supplicate to Allah for your father, ask for forgiveness for him, give in charity, and perform Hajj on his behalf, hoping that Allah will pardon him.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
