Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A message was received by the program from the listener Khalid al-Harbi. He says in his message: I have a grandfather who suffered a stroke. He was out of his mind for three months. He has now returned and has started to remember the prayer and has started to pray, but he did not fast, naturally. So how do you guide us, given his condition as described? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
He owes nothing for what was missed while his mind was gone, and he owes nothing for making up the fast if Ramadan fell during the period when his mind was gone; because the pen has been lifted from him. He only prays from now on, after his mind has returned to him. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
