Q: While lying in bed I am sometimes unable to face the Qibla as I need assistance and it is difficult for my wife to do it alone. Should I still raise my head or can I read salaah lying flat down (by raising my head I will not be face to Qibla still)?
A: It is permissible for you to perform Salaah while lying down. You should raise your head for the postures.
And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
