TEMPORARY LOSS OF SANITY, FAINTING: Someone who temporarily loses their sanity or spends the entire month of Ramadan unconscious or without their mental faculties is not obligated to fast. This is because such a person is considered not to have reached the month of Ramadan in a legal sense. However, if they recover on some days of Ramadan, they fast on those days and make up for the days they did not fast after Ramadan.
