The ruling on making up missed prayers for one who was in a coma
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says that he was hospitalized and did not pray for a week due to his coma and recovery, so I want to pray the prayers during this week. Do I start with them in order, or do I pray them all together?
Answer:
My brother, the coma is limited to three days. If the coma was three days, he must make up what passed during that time. But if it was more than three days, it is not made up. Rather, he should maintain the prayer that he was able to perform while he was in good health and present of mind, and he should maintain it in the future. What happened during the time of a long coma is excused. Yes.
