Feeding the one whose intellect comes and goes

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Shaykh: The elderly person, meaning if his intellect is sometimes present and sometimes absent, does he feed on his behalf?

Answer:
Feeding on his behalf is the safer course, considering that he has intellect for most of the time or some of the time, so he feeds on his behalf as a precaution. Yes.
