[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ , he said the pen is lifted from three: from the child until he reaches puberty, from the sleeper until he wakes up, and from the insane until he regains his sanity. Affan said the same about the insane person until he regains his sanity. Hammad also said the same about the insane person until he regains his sanity. And Ruhaan said the same about the insane person until he regains his sanity.
