The questioner:
The questioner says: A woman whose apparent condition is severe forgetfulness, and her age is over ninety. He says that she forgets and asks about the deceased. He asks: Does she have to pray? And does she have to fast?
The Shaykh:
If she is able to fast, then she fasts. And if she is not able to fast because of her old age, then she must feed one poor person for every day. Yes.
The presenter:
The question has ended, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
I know, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad.
