• What is the ruling on fasting Ramadan and praying in a coma?
•• The answer: If your mind has vanished before Ramadan and the mind continued to vanish until Ramadan ended, you do not have to do anything, neither pray nor fast according to the other condition of the obligation. As some people of knowledge said, it is good, but you do not need to pray or fast. But if the coma was a few days or less, this is like sleeping, you spend it after waking up, you make up what you missed of prayer and fasting, as some of the companions like Ammar and others spent.
• A person was fasting during the blessed Ramadan and wanted to travel, but he broke his fast at home before leaving the city in which he resides. What is the ruling on that?
•• The answer: What he should do, he should not break his fast until after leaving, he has to make up the day, but he should not do it in the future unless he leaves the city and leaves its building, this is what he should.
• What is the ruling on taking blood for analysis of a fasting person?
•• The answer: Drawing blood for the correct analysis is that there is no embarrassment in it; Because it is a little thing that does not resemble cupping. Most likely it is a little, but if it is to donate to aid the sick, then he should make it up if the need arises, and if it is possible to postpone it until the night, then it is better, and if it is more, then it is more precautionary.
