Salat is the essential way of connecting Muslims with Allah, the Creator. Salat is also an important way of coping especially for those who are facing hardships and difficulties such as having chronic or acute illnesses. This study determines the level of knowledge, attitude, and practice among patients admitted to the Hospital Langkawi, Kedah. From January to December 2015, a cross sectional study on a sample of 166 respondents was conducted. The sample was selected using simple random sampling and the information was elicited through face-to-face interviews using a validated, self-constructed questionnaire. Data were then analyzed using IBM SPSS version 21.0. The results showed that 78.9% (n = 131) of the respondents did not perform salat while in the ward due to their illnesses mainly because they do not know how to perform rukhsah salat (77.7%, n = 129). Overall, 48.2% (n = 80) of the respondents claimed that nobody guided them on how to perform salat and how to take ablution (wudhu�) (47.6%, n = 79) while in the ward. The most important person who teaches the respondents on how to perform Salat in the ward is the religious officer (27.7%, n = 46) and nurses (13.3%, n = 22). Generally, more than half of the respondents still have a low knowledge (53.6%, n = 89) and a low attitude (61.4%, n = 102) on performing rukhsah salat while being admitted. As a conclusion, healthcare providers need to have knowledge regarding rukhsah salat and hold a responsibility to educate patients especially those admitted and more importantly debilitated due to their illnesses while in the ward. � 2017 American Scientific Publishers All rights reserved.
