Question:
And if it is regarding acts of worship and prayers, Honorable Shaykh, if her mind has gone, do they remind her? Does she pray?
Answer:
If she does not have her mind, if her mind has gone, then there is no prayer required of her and no obligation upon her. But if she forgets while her mind is present, she is merely forgetting, then they remind her of it. Yes.
