The second question of Fatwa No. ( 10565 )
Q2: Is it permissible to give zakah to a person who has lost consciousness (an insane person) who has young children and a wife who does not pray? Is it given to the wife because he has lost his mind?
A2: It is permissible to give zakah to a person who has lost consciousness, and it is received by his guardian, and he is given what suffices him and his family. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
