Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is the limitation to three days established from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)?

Answer:
No, this is narrated from 'Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) when he was unconscious, and from Samurah ibn Jundub (may Allah be pleased with him) , and from Imran (may Allah be pleased with him) . I have not come across their chains of narration, but they mentioned it regarding these three. Until now, I have not come across their chains of narration from them, but it is a close opinion; a close opinion; because three days are the basis for rulings, such as: the option of three days, and many other things are based on three days; so the opinion of three days is close; because sleep may overcome a person, he may sleep for a day or two, he may sleep for three days.
Q: Is fasting included with it if he is unconscious for more than three days?
A: Yes, he owes no making up.
Q: Who distinguished between the unconscious person and the sleeper; this is by his choice, and this is without his choice?
A: There is no doubt, but it resembles it with three days or less, it resembles it.
Q: If he does not make up the prayer due to unconsciousness, is it the same for fasting?
A: He does not make up fasting or prayer.
