Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
An elderly man who is bedridden and has a weakness in his comprehension prays with tayammum and combines the prayers. He has money in the bank, up to the point that he prays with tayammum and combines the prayers, and he has money in the bank. He lives with his brother. Is it obligatory for his brother to trade with his money, or should it be left as it is?

Answer:
This is a matter for the judge to review. The judge looks at the situation of this person to see if he needs a guardian appointed over his money or not. If he needs a guardian appointed, the guardian manages what is in the best interest of the owner of the money, selling and buying for him, but with the judge's permission, as an agency granted by the judge. Yes.
