Question:
If a person is afflicted with sorcery, is he excused for all his actions, such as falling into major sins, missing the congregational prayer, and missing the Fajr prayer?
Answer:
As long as his mind is with him, he is held accountable for all his actions and is liable for them. However, if his mind is absent and he has no mind, becoming like a madman with no mind, he is not held accountable except for destruction; if he destroys a life or property, he is liable for it.
