Prayer of the Sick, the Unconscious, the Weak and the Infirm, the Elderly and Others
وَ سَأَلَ لَيْثٌ اَلْمُرَادِيُّ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَرْعُفُ زَوَالَ اَلشَّمْسِ حَتَّى يَذْهَبَ اَللَّيْلُ قَالَ «يُومِئُ إِيمَاءً بِرَأْسِهِ عَنْ كُلِّ صَلاَةٍ.
Layth al-Muradi asked Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام about a man who suffers from continuous nosebleeds from the time of the sun's zenith until nightfall. Imam عليه السلام replied: "He should gesture with his head for each prayer."
