The questioner:
May Allah keep you safe and reward you. The questioner says: I have a neighbor who has a son who is mentally disabled and impaired?
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
I have a neighbor who has a son who is mentally disabled and impaired. He has reached the age of twenty-five, and he has the appearance of a man, but he is mute. When he visits, he enters our home and looks at us. Is this permissible? And is it permissible for me to look at him?
The Shaykh:
No, this is not permissible, even if he is disabled or not of sound mind. As long as he looks at women, we must veil ourselves from him. He may enter your home, but we must veil ourselves from him and cover ourselves from him. Yes.
