The Criterion for Making Up the Missed Acts of One Who Fainted
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the criterion for making up the missed acts of one who fainted? If a person fainted for a number of days, or a number of days, does he have to make up anything?
Answer:
If a person fainted for ten days, he owes nothing, neither fasting nor prayer, because he is not accountable. It is only the brief fainting, which is a day or three days or less. As for prolonged fainting, there is no accountability on him. In reality, the car accidents, or the tire blowouts, or the matters in which a person may faint for a long period that occur now, he owes nothing for them. If he recovers and is a Muslim, he owes nothing for what passed, because he was not a Muslim [in a state of accountability]. And Allah the Exalted knows best. Peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and companions.
