This study addresses the escalating challenges posed by Malaysia's rapidly ageing population, with projections indicating a surge in the elderly demographic. The geriatric giant, encompassing issues like immobility and memory impairment, has expanded to include frailty and sarcopenia. Notably, the impact of these conditions on daily activities, notably the crucial spiritual practice of Salah (Islamic prayer) among elderly Muslims, is underexplored. This research aims to bridge this gap by identifying and exploring the intricacies of performing Salah among frail elderly Muslims, shedding light on the often-neglected spiritual needs within the ageing population in Malaysia.
