Prayer of the Sick, the Unconscious, the Weak and the Infirm, the Elderly and Others
وَ كَتَبَ أَيُّوبُ بْنُ نُوحٍ إِلَى أَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ اَلثَّالِثِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: يَسْأَلُهُ عَنِ اَلْمُغْمَى عَلَيْهِ يَوْماً أَوْ أَكْثَرَ هَلْ يَقْضِي مَا فَاتَهُ مِنَ اَلصَّلَوَاتِ أَمْ لاَ فَكَتَبَ «لاَ يَقْضِي اَلصَّوْمَ وَ لاَ يَقْضِي اَلصَّلاَةَ.
Ayoub ibn Noah wrote to Abu Al-Hasan al-Third (Imam Musa al-Kadhim) عليه السلام asking whether a person who is unconscious for a day or more needs to make up the prayers (salat) they missed. The Imam wrote in response, "He does not have to make up the fasting (sawm) or the prayers (salat)."
