Question:
The questioner says: What is the ruling on one who was under the influence of Satan or in a state of insanity from the age of puberty until approximately thirty years of age, after which Allah the Exalted cured him? How does he make up the missed prayers and fasts?
Answer:
He owes no making up of the prayers or fasts for the period of insanity. He owes no making up, especially since the period was long—thirty years of insanity with no intellect. He owes nothing. The pen is lifted from three: the child until he reaches puberty, the insane person until he regains his sanity, and the sleeper until he wakes up. He owes nothing, but he must maintain the prayer in the future. Yes.
