The ruling on making up the days of one who was unconscious for a long time

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah make you truthful, what is the stronger position regarding the one who was unconscious? If he was unconscious for many days or more, does he have to make them up?

Answer:
If he was unconscious for ten days, he owes nothing, neither fasting nor prayer, because he is not accountable. It is only the brief unconsciousness, which is a day or three days or less. As for prolonged unconsciousness, there is no accountability on him, especially what happens now from car accidents or strokes or matters in which a person is unconscious for a long time. He owes nothing. If he recovers after that, he does not know what happened in the past, and he does not have to make it up because he was not accountable. And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and companions.
