The questioner : I have been maintaining the five daily prayers for over two years since I retired, but when the illness affected me, I was unable to perform the Fajr prayer until ten in the morning. Please advise us, may Allah reward you, in this matter, knowing that I was unable to do so due to the severity of the illness or epilepsy?
The Shaykh : It is obligatory for you to pray the prayer at its time, in whatever state you are in, even if you are lying down or sitting, and even if you are unable to perform the bowing and prostration except by nodding your head, then you must pray according to your condition. However, if you are completely unable, as if you are in a coma, and if this coma has persisted from before the dawn until the sun rises, then you do not have to make it up, because this is a loss of reason, and one of the conditions for the obligation of prayer is that a person be of sound mind. Yes.
The questioner : In his third question, he says.
