Making up the fast on behalf of a woman suffering from a stroke who sometimes loses her discernment

The questioner:
She suffered a stroke, and sometimes she is aware of her surroundings and sometimes she is not, so she did not fast. Does she have to feed people, or is the feeding obligation dropped from her? Sometimes she is aware of those around her and sometimes she is not.

The Shaykh:
If the lack of awareness lasts with her for many days, such that she has no sound mind, she is like one who has lost her mind. But if it happens to her on some days, like sleep, her fast is valid and she must make up what she missed.

The questioner:
It is established.

The Shaykh:
She must make up the fast, unless her mind is completely gone. If her mind disappears completely for more than three days, then she is like a person of unsound mind on the days her mind is gone. However, if it is three days or less, it is narrated from 'Ammar that he was unconscious for three days, and he made up the fast (may Allah be pleased with him).
