The ruling on one whose mind is lost during Ramadan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: An elderly person who, at times, does not realize what is happening and breaks his fast during Ramadan, does he owe an expiation?
Answer:
The one who cannot manage his affairs because his mind is lost. He is awake for a while and then his mind is lost for a while. He is not subject to religious obligations.[Al-Baqarah 2:286] Religious obligations are tied to intellect. If intellect and continuous thinking are present, then the obligatory acts are required of him. As for the one who does not have continuous thinking, but it comes for a while and goes for a while, he is not subject to religious obligations. However, when his mind is present, he should remember Allah, pray, and abstain from things that break the fast. If his mind is absent, there is no blame on him. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
