After my periods, I was not in a position to make Ghusl due to an illness. How do I offer Salaat in this condition, or does Salaat not become obligatory, until I perform Ghusl?
Question
In a similar manner how does this apply to men, if during their sickness, they become unclean?
Answer
If due to some illness, water is harmful and Wudhu or Ghusl will increase the illness or delay it's healing, Tayammum will be permissible. (Behishti Zewar Eng Version Vol 1 Pg 100 Azaadville). One should perform Salaat after making Tayammum.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
