The Ruling on Making Up Missed Prayers for One Who Has Fainted
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a man is struck by a coma for a period of time, is there a limit to how long he is required to make up the missed prayers?
Answer:
That is, does he mean the religion or is it obligatory upon him? If this limit is exceeded, he does not make up the prayers. The best that has been said is three days; some say that one day is sufficient, but the best that has been said is three days. If he faints for three days, he makes them up; if it is more than that, he does not make them up. As for his skin, if it is three days or less, it is like sleep. If he regains consciousness and Allah forgives him, he makes them up.
