What is the ruling on one who sleeps after the 'Asr prayer in Ramadan and does not wake up until after the dawn?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : A questioner says: More than three times I have said that a man fasted, and when the time for breaking the fast came, he slept, and he did not fast except after the adhan of Fajr. Should he fast or break his fast, and what is better?
The Shaykh : If this man is in Ramadan, and you heard the question where he says he is fasting, and I think that is in Ramadan, so he slept after 'Asr and remained in his sleep until the dawn of the next day appeared, and he remained in his fast, is his fast valid? We say yes, his fast is valid and he owes nothing. Let him continue in his fast if such a situation occurs. The fasting person should continue in his fast and he owes nothing, because this fasting person has resolved in his heart with a firm resolution that he is fasting from the appointed time. As long as this is his intention, his fast is valid.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : That he may be pleased with us.
