obligatory upon him, whenever he prays within the time, then reaches puberty during it after finishing it, or during it, he must repeat it. Abū Ḥanīfah said this as well. Al-Shāfiʿī said: It suffices him, and he is not required to repeat it in both cases, because he performed the duty of the time, so he is not required to repeat it, like the adult. Our evidence is that he prayed before it was obligatory upon him [and before the cause of its obligation], so it did not suffice him for what the cause of its obligation was found upon him, just as if he had prayed before the time. Furthermore, he prayed a supererogatory prayer, so it did not suffice him for the obligatory one, just as if he had intended a supererogatory prayer. Also, he reached puberty during the time of the act of worship and after performing it, so he is required to repeat it, like the Hajj, and the duty of the time in the case of the adult is the Dhuhr prayer, which is obligatory, and he did not perform it. Section: The insane person is not legally responsible (mukallaf), and he is not required to make up what he missed during his insanity, unless he regains consciousness during the time of the prayer, in which case he becomes like the child who reaches puberty. We do not know of any disagreement regarding that. The Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him, said: "The pen is lifted from three: from the sleeper until he wakes up, from the child until he grows up, and from the mentally disabled until he regains his intellect." Abū Dāwūd, Ibn Mājah, and al-Tirmidhī (19) recorded it, and he said: A Hasan (Good) hadith. This is also because his duration is usually long, so the obligation of making it up would be a hardship for him, so he is pardoned. 120 - Issue; He said: (And the one who has fainted makes up all the prayers that were during the time of his fainting). The summary of this is that the ruling on the one who has fainted is the ruling on the sleeper; the obligation to make up nothing falls from him
