Tata Cara Shalat Orang Sakit

>Hello Sohib EditorOnline, today we will discuss about the proper way of praying for those who are sick or bedridden. As Muslims, prayer is one of the most important acts of worship and it should be performed properly even for those who are unable to do so physically. Let’s take a look at the steps and guidelines on how to perform prayer for the sick.

What is Shalat?

Shalat or prayer is one of the Five Pillars of Islam and it is a physical and spiritual act of worship. Muslims perform prayer five times a day to show their submission and obedience to Allah SWT. Shalat is also believed to be a source of blessings and forgiveness from Allah SWT.

However, for those who are sick or unable to perform prayer physically, there are certain guidelines that should be followed in order to perform prayer properly.

Preparing for Shalat

Before performing prayer, it is important to make sure that the place of prayer is clean and free from impurities. For those who are bedridden, the bed or the place where they lay down can be considered as the place of prayer. It is also important to make sure that the person who is sick is facing the Qibla, which is the direction of the Ka’bah in Makkah.

For those who are unable to perform the physical movements of prayer such as standing, bowing, and prostrating, there are certain adjustments that can be made. These adjustments are called ‘Takbir al-Ihram’ and ‘Takbir al-Qunut’.

Takbir al-Ihram means to start the prayer by saying ‘Allahu Akbar’ while raising both hands up to the ears. For those who are unable to stand, they can perform Takbir al-Ihram while laying down on their side or back. They can also do this while sitting up with support.

Takbir al-Qunut means to supplicate to Allah SWT during the prayer. It is performed after the recitation of the Quranic verses in the third and fourth units of prayer. For those who are unable to bow or prostrate, they can perform Takbir al-Qunut while sitting or lying down.

Performing the Shalat

Now, let’s take a look at the steps on how to perform the shalat for those who are sick or unable to perform the physical movements.
