Summary
Scholars differ on this matter, but the fatwa adopts the stronger view that insane persons will be tested in the Hereafter. They will be commanded to enter Hell; those who obey will be saved, while those who refuse are considered disobedient and become people of Hell. Hence some of them enter Paradise and others enter Hell. The view is supported by hadith, and the fatwa explains that religious obligation ceases only after entering the abode of recompense, so testing in the Hereafter remains possible.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Namun pandangan yang lebih kuat ialah mereka akan diuji di akhirat kelak, dalam bentuk Allah SWT akan memerintahkan mereka masuk ke dalam neraka, sesiapa yang mentaati perintah tersebut dia akan selamat dan sesiapa yang membantah, maka dia orang yang derhaka dan dari kalangan ahli neraka.
