Continuation of the explanation of the author's statement: "… and he makes up the prayer of one whose mind was lost through sleep, fainting, intoxication, or the like …"

The Shaykh : The author (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "and he makes up the prayer of one whose mind was lost through sleep" Is this the beginning of today's lesson?

The questioner : We have taken it.

The Shaykh : We have taken it. Good, so let us recall what has passed. As for the one whose mind was lost through sleep, he makes up the prayer by explicit text and scholarly consensus, due to the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and the Muslims agreed upon that. And from the author's statement "he makes up," we previously derived that the prayer of the sleeper after the time has passed is considered making up (qada'). Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah holds that it is performing in its proper time (ada'), saying that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) appointed the time for the sleeper's prayer to be when he wakes up, and for the forgetful one when he remembers. And that anyone who is excused by sleep or forgetfulness, if he prays when his excuse is removed, his prayer is in its proper time, performed as ada'. It was also previously established for us that as for the one whose mind was lost through fainting, the correct view is that prayer is not obligatory upon him, and this is the position of the three Imams. Yes, because he is not of sound mind. And as for the one whose mind was lost through intoxication, the correct view is that he makes it up. Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah said that he does not make it up, but the correct view is that he makes it up, because the loss of his mind was by his own choice and through a forbidden act. Likewise, he said: "or the like" such as anesthesia and medicine. Yes, and this is also a matter of disagreement. Some of the scholars say that if one's mind is lost by something permissible, he does not have to make it up, because he is excused. But what is stronger in my opinion, and knowledge is with Allah, is that if one's mind is lost by his own action, he must make it up. However, if the action was forbidden, he is sinful; and if it was not forbidden, he is not sinful. As for the one whose mind is lost without his choice, such as the one who faints, he does not have to make it up.
