The questioner : The honorable Shaykh, I have a daughter in a coma. If Allah does not cure her, and Allah does what He wills and desires, do I have to make up the fast for her for the month while she is in a coma?
The Shaykh : If she is in a coma during the month of Ramadan?The questioner : Yes, she has nine months left, may you live long.
The Shaykh : She has nine months left. If Allah cures her and she is able to fast, that is what is required. Otherwise, he must feed one poor person for every day. If she dies before that, he must feed one poor person for every day.
The Shaykh : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : Yes.
