How to Pray for a Person with Epilepsy and Its Ruling
A man suffers from epilepsy, but at a moderate level. During prayer, one of his brothers is beside him, and if he has a seizure while praying, his brother takes his hand and returns him to the back rows of the mosque. What is the ruling on the prayer of this person with epilepsy? And what is the ruling on the prayer of his brother?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It is preferable for him to pray at home, so as not to disturb others, and so that his brother's prayer is not invalidated by movement. And God knows best.
