Can a Pregnant Woman Miss Salah Due to Weakness or Exhaustion?

Question

Assalamualaikum, I am Maryam I want to say that I feel very difficult in offering prayers and doing ablution during my pregnancy. Its ny third month and my energy gets so low at prayers times that I can barely get up and do ablution and offer prayers due to which i miss my prayers and that gives me guilt.

Islamic Ruling & Answer

Verified

Walekum assalam,

 Feeling weak during pregnancy is normal. Islam is a religion of ease. Allah does not burden anyone beyond her strength. If a pregnant woman cannot pray standing, she may pray sitting, and if that is also difficult, she may pray lying down with gestures. Do not feel guiltyโ€ฆAllah knows your intention and effort.
