Making up missed prayers due to unconsciousness
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, a man was struck by unconsciousness for a period, and many prayers passed him that he did not pray. Then he regained consciousness. Does he make them up, or are those prayers dropped from him?
The Shaykh:
We seek help from Allah. Approximately, if the period was long, meaning he was in a long unconsciousness, he does not make them up. However, if the unconsciousness was three days or two days, he makes them up, because this does not involve hardship or difficulty for him, so he makes them up. If the unconsciousness was a short period, such as three days, for example.
The questioner:
So if it was long, he does not make them up.
The Shaykh:
Yes.
