Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, the patient who is paralyzed with quadriplegia and has lost his memory, and has been in this condition for several years, asks: Is he considered like a dead person so that his wealth is distributed to his heirs?
Answer:
No, as long as he is alive, even if he has no mind, his wealth belongs to him and is not distributed. It is not distributed until he dies. When he dies and his soul departs, his estate is distributed. Yes.
