The questioner:
He asks, saying: Is the prayer dropped from one who fainted for approximately one month, or does he make up what he missed after his mind returns to him?
The Shaykh:
The prayer is not dropped from him if the period is long and he has no awareness; the prayer is dropped from him. So when he recovers and Allah grants him health, he maintains the prayer in the future. Yes.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
It was reported that if he fainted for three days and then recovered, he makes up the prayer within the limit of three days only. Yes.
