Prayer of the Sick, the Unconscious, the Weak and the Infirm, the Elderly and Others
وَ سَأَلَهُ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مَهْزِيَارَ: عَنْ هَذِهِ اَلْمَسْأَلَةِ فَقَالَ «لاَ يَقْضِي اَلصَّوْمَ وَ لاَ اَلصَّلاَةَ وَ كُلُّ مَا غَلَبَ اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ فَاللَّهُ أَوْلَى بِالْعُذْرِ.
Ali ibn Mahziyar asked about this issue, and Imam عليه السلام replied: "He does not have to make up the fasting (sawm) or the prayers (salat), and everything that overwhelms a person due to God's will, God is more deserving of granting the excuse."
