Making up the prayer for one who was unconscious for a long period
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A man was struck by unconsciousness for five months, or more than that, or less. Then he regained consciousness from his unconsciousness. Does he make up the prayers for this period?
Answer:
No, he does not make up the prayers; rather, he starts anew. As for what has passed for him, he is not accountable for it. The months that passed for him while he was not in a state of wakefulness, he is not accountable during that period.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
