Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, does the intentional act of the drunkard fall within the category of the intentional acts of the child and the insane?
Answer:
No, because he is not excused for his intoxication. The child and the insane are excused due to the loss of their reason, but this person is the one who caused the loss of his own reason, so he is not excused, and he is liable for the consequences that result from it.
