The Ruling on Performing Wudu After a Seizure

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I suffer from epilepsy, and I had a seizure before prayer, then I lost consciousness for about five minutes, and then I regained consciousness. Do I have to perform wudu again if nothing came out of me?

Answer:
The one who suffers from epilepsy must renew his wudu'; it is even more significant than sleep. Epilepsy is more significant than sleep. He must perform wudu'. We ask Allah for well-being and safety. Yes.
