Navigating Salah and Purity Challenges During Illness
Assalamu alaikum, I recently underwent major surgery and am now using crutches, with very limited mobility and significant pain. Over the past few days, I've missed all my Salah as my sense of time has been blurred, and I've been worried about Taharah issues. It's difficult for me to get to the washroom, clean myself properly, and I'm concerned about traces of urine on my clothes from using a bed urinal, as well as natural discharges that occur during sleep or rest, which I expect may continue. Given that my bed and clothes aren't in a state of purity, and I won't be able to shower for a few more days, how should I approach Salah? It's especially hard during Ramadan, a time I'm already missing due to not fasting in preparation for the surgery-I didn't anticipate how much pain and limited mobility I'd experience. Is it sufficient to make the intention and perform the motions and recitations as best as I can? Should I make up the missed prayers later? Also, can Tayammum be done by intention alone without the physical materials? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Jazak Allah Khair.
