Is the fasting of one who sleeps the entire day valid?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a person in the days of Ramadan eats the pre-dawn meal, then prays the dawn prayer and sleeps until the midday prayer, then prays it and sleeps until the afternoon prayer, then prays it and sleeps until breaking the fast, is the fasting valid?

Answer:
The fasting is valid, if Allah wills, as long as he wakes up and prays the prayers that have passed over him. The fasting is valid, but he should not sleep excessively and waste the time of Ramadan, which is a precious time for the recitation of the Qur'an and the remembrance of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Yes.
