Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : This person is asking, saying that he was involved in an accident and was unconscious for a month or two and did not fast Ramadan, so does he have to make it up?
The Shaykh : The answer is: Yes, he must make it up, because fasting is not like prayer; fasting is not repeated. So if he was unconscious for the entire month of Ramadan, it is obligatory for him to make up that month.
Is there anything, meaning, did the Sunnah explicitly state the difference between making up fasting and making up prayer?
The student: Yes.
The Shaykh : What is it?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : Menstruation: A menstruating woman makes up fasting but does not make up prayer. Let this be the last question, and all praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds. May Allah bless you.
