The ruling on one who stands at 'Arafah while sleeping, intoxicated, or unconscious

The questioner : If a person were to sleep, if he slept before being taken to 'Arafah, and his family carried him while he was in a deep sleep, and he remained asleep in the car until the sun set, and then they drove him along with them.

The Shaykh : His Hajj is valid. Because he stood at 'Arafah and was not in a state of loss of reason, unlike the intoxicated person and the insane person, for whom there is no Hajj. Rather, the Hajj has been missed for them, and they are treated as those who missed the Hajj.

The questioner : Or the unconscious person.

The Shaykh : The unconscious person is like the insane person, because he is unable to wake up, unlike the sleeping person, who is able to wake up.
