Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A person was involved in a car accident and fell into a coma for one month. He has now regained consciousness. Is it obligatory for him to make up the prayers he missed while he was unconscious?
Answer:
May Allah purify his conscience. Yes, it purifies his conscience, but he should arrange them according to his ability: the first day, the second, the third, until he completes them. May Allah help him in that, because this is a short period and he is able to make them up.
