Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: My son was involved in an accident on the eleventh day of Ramadan, and he fell into a coma until he passed away on the eleventh day of Shawwal. The question is: Does my son owe a fast that I should perform on his behalf?
Answer:
No, as long as he was in a coma until he died, he owes nothing. He is not subject to religious obligation, because he had no awareness or intellect. Yes.
