WHEN SYMPTOMS GET WORSE

Praying as a sick person

 The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “The first deed for which a person will be brought to account on

the Day of Resurrection will be his prayer. If it is good then he will have prospered

and succeeded, but if it is bad then he will be doomed."

It is therefore very important that a person does not neglect the prayer during this

crucial time.

Wudu & Tayammum

Please ensure you pack the following in your hospital bag...

Smartphone (with qiblah & salah times app)

Stone for tayammum

Prayer mat, toiletries, spare clothes and slippers

- Elderly patients should be taught how to use the smart phone,

e.g. making video calls, charging the phone, using salah app etc.

- Any stones from the earth will suffice

Do wudu if you have access to water or if it is possible for any water to be

brought to you.

If you’re wearing an oxygen mask and it cannot be removed, it is sufficient

to wipe over it during wudu.

You do not have access to water.

You cannot get to a water source.

Using water will make the illness worse or delay its recovery.

Do tayammum if you have one or more of the following issues:
