Obligatory
Prayer Exemption
compiled
by Research Department of the Universal House of Justice
As
regards the questions about the proper use of the Long Obligatory
Prayer: All the writings of the Faith may be read and should be read
for the instruction and inspiration of the friends. This includes
the specific prayers. If a believer is physically incapable of
performing the genuflexions accompanying one of the prayers, and yet
he longs to say it as an obligatory prayer, then he may do so. By
physically incapable is meant a real physical incapacity which a
physician would attest as genuine.
(17 February 1955 to a
Local Spiritual Assembly on behalf of Shoghi Effendi)
