Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Shaykh said: If the blood relative is insane and cannot manage [the matter] during his insanity, does this mean that retaliation is not sought from the perpetrator?
Answer:
Yes, it is prevented. Because the preservation of blood is required, and as long as the one who is entitled to it, or one of those entitled to it, is lacking in intellect, there is no retaliation. Yes.
