Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Well, the man, O Shaykh, was ill in the hospital and entered the operating room after the midday prayer, under anesthesia, O Shaykh, and did not regain consciousness until after the sunset prayer, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh:
He was not cooked, and he entered.
The questioner:
No, no, he did not pray, O Shaykh, he did not pray before he entered.
The Shaykh:
He prays the midday and afternoon prayers after he regains consciousness, meaning he prays the midday and afternoon prayers, correct?
The questioner:
Well, what if the anesthesia lasts a day or two, O Shaykh? I mean, what if the anesthesia lasts a day or two.
The Shaykh:
Enough.
The questioner:
He makes them up, even if it lasts long.
The Shaykh:
Yes, up to three.
The questioner:
Yes, yes, yes, yes, how many, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh:
If the unconsciousness is less than three, he makes them up.
The questioner:
Three days, and if it is more than three days, he does not make them up?
The Shaykh:
That is the best that was said on this.
The questioner:
In a circle.
The Shaykh:
If you lied, but this is better than the others.
The questioner:
Is there evidence for this specific limit? May Allah protect you.
The Shaykh:
It is not narrated from the Fire, and some of the Companions gathered.
The presenter:
Yes, may Allah reward you with good and preserve you, O Shaykh. Peace be upon you. The evening of Monday, the fifteenth of the month of Muharram, in the year one thousand four hundred and nineteen of the Hijri calendar?
