The Difference Between the Foolish and the Insane

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The one who distinguishes between the mentally impaired and the insane says that neither has reason, but the mentally impaired is the one who does not aggress against anyone, while the insane is the one who does. Is his definition and distinction correct?

Answer:
Is it correct, this? The foolish is the one who never had any intellect to begin with, and the insane is the one who has intellect, but was afflicted due to the jinn.
