If a person experiences a seizure while fasting, whether they are asleep or awake, their fast is not invalidated. They do not need to break their fast due to the seizure. However, if the seizure occurs during prayer, they should not continue praying if they are unable to do so after the seizure. They may need to rest and can make up the missed prayer later.
It is important to note that seizures are considered involuntary actions, and thus the person is not held accountable for them.
