Does the unconscious person make up the prayers he missed?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, I am a young man who sometimes faints, and the fainting sometimes lasts two days. Do I have to make up the prayers I missed, considering that I do not know how many prayers I missed?

The Shaykh : The fainting mentioned by the questioner did not specify its cause. If it is an illness, then the stronger position is that the unconscious person does not make up the prayer, even if he is unconscious for two days, three days, or more. However, if the fainting is due to something he did, such as taking injections that cover the mind, like an anesthetic injection, and the mind remains covered, then he is required in this case to make up all the prayers he missed, because he is the cause of removing his mind through this fainting.
