Question:
May Allah reward you. This leads us to a question from one of the common people, may Allah preserve you. Some of the common people believe that when a person grows old, some of the acts of worship or some of the obligations fall off him.
Answer:
The obligatory duties and fard (obligatory) acts do not fall off a Muslim as long as his mind is present. However, if his mind is gone permanently and he has no mind, then he is not subject to religious obligation. Yes.
