The ruling on fasting for one who loses consciousness for a few hours
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question: Abu Qasim from Riyadh says: A man loses his consciousness for a few hours. Is fasting obligatory upon him?
Answer: If his consciousness is only lost for part of the hours, then fasting is obligatory upon him, just as it is for one who sleeps for part of the time. The fact that his consciousness is lost at times during the day or during the night does not prevent the obligation of fasting from falling upon him. We ask Allah for his healing and well-being.
