Missing salaah due to being ill
Question
Is it permissible to miss salah because you have a flu and are sleeping?
Answer
It is not permissible for one to forgo his salaah due to being ill or due to having a flu.
If one goes to sleep, one should make arrangements for someone to wake him up or put an alarm clock so that one does not miss the salaah, but performs the salaah in the salaah time.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
