Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A young man was unconscious for a week to ten days during Ramadan. Does he have to make up both the prayer and the fast, or only the fast? And what is the criterion for the length of the unconsciousness?
Answer:
That is, if it is only five days, he makes it up, because making up the prayer is a matter of hadith, and there is no condition regarding it. Five days, three days, he makes it up. It is only if he is unconscious for months or years that he does not make it up, due to the difficulty.
