Making up missed prayers due to illness

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: A person was ill for a month and was unable to perform the prayer during that time. He wants to make them up and asks about how to make up the prayers: does he make them up all at once, or is he required to make them up at their times? Meaning, he makes up the Fajr prayers with the Fajr prayer, and so on.

Answer:
The sick person does not shorten the prayer; rather, he prays according to his condition. The traveler does not shorten the prayer; rather, he prays according to his condition and his ability. Does he shorten it? Whether he is a man or a woman, the prayer is not left in any state as long as the person's mind remains. He does not enter into the prayer [in a state of impurity], but he prays according to his condition. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The sick person should pray . So do not leave the prayer because of illness except if the mind is lost. If the mind is lost and the person no longer has reason, then if the loss of reason continues for a long period, months or years, and then his reason returns to him, he does not make up those prayers, because the obligation was lifted from him during the time of losing his reason. He only prays in the future. However, if the period of his loss of reason is short, if the period of his loss of reason is short, around three days, four days, up to ten days, for example, a short time, and the suffering is slight, then he makes up what he missed. He makes up what he missed, and he makes them up consecutively. He makes them up in sequence. He does not delay them to the regular prayers. He does not pray the Dhuhr with the Dhuhr, and the 'Asr with the 'Asr. No, this is a mistake. This is among the common people, and it is a mistake. Rather, he prays the prayers of the first day in order, then the prayers of the second day in order, then the prayers of the third day in order, and so on, until he completes what is due from him. If he is able to make them up in one sitting, it is obligatory for him to do so. If he is not able, he distributes them over periods until he is able to do so, as long as it does not harm him in his livelihood which he needs. He distributes them over periods, and in each period he makes them up in order and consecutively. Yes.
