Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh! This questioner says: If a person kills someone while using narcotics, is his killing considered intentional murder or quasi-intentional murder?
Answer:
If he has no mind, meaning the narcotics, may Allah protect us from that, have taken away his mind, then this is like the insane person. The killing of a child or an insane person is an error. This is like the insane person if he becomes devoid of mind. Yes.
