Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the reason why the fast of an unconscious person is valid if he regains consciousness for part of the day, and he did not form the intention from the night?
Answer:
No, he did not form the intention from the night. The point is that if he formed the intention from the night, even if he were awake, if he did not form the intention from the night, his fast would not be valid, so how about the unconscious person? The discussion is about the unconscious person who intended to fast before dawn and was overcome by unconsciousness and did not regain consciousness. His fast is not valid because the entire day passed while he had not intended, and he had not intended for any part of it. Yes.
