Q
What is the ruling on induced coma in Islam?
Answer
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.
In this fatwa:
Induced coma is a type of long-term anesthesia, often used to protect the brain in specific cases. It is permissible due to a medical necessity.
Answering your question, The Assembly of Muslim Jurists of America, states:
Induced coma is a type of long-term anesthesia, often used to protect the brain in specific cases. It is permissible due to a medical necessity.
For the one whose coma lasts more than a day and a night, there is no requirement to make up for the missed prayers.
Almighty Allah knows best.
