Summary
A gift by a person whose sanity fluctuates is valid if it is made while the person is lucid and without coercion. If it is made while insane or under an influence that removes self-control, scholars agree the gift is invalid. The fatwa explains that the donor must be of sound mind, mature and the full owner of the property, and that intermittent insanity carries the rulings of insanity only while it lasts.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Seseorang yang kewarasannya datang sekejap kemudian hilang menghibahkan sesuatu hartanya kepada orang lain, maka hukumnya adalah sah sekiranya hibah itu berlaku ketika beliau berada dalam kewarasan dan tanpa sebarang paksaan.
