Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: I hear a lot from those who have insane children, or children with disabilities, that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said Is this authentic?
Answer:
Yes, yes. It includes the insane, the weak in mind, and the weak in body. Weakness can be in the body or in the mind. So, the one who shows compassion to the weak, whether in their body or in their mind, this is a cause for provision and a cause for mercy from Allah. “Have mercy on those on earth, and the One in the heavens will have mercy on you.” Yes.
