Summary
If an insane man has intercourse with his wife during the day, her fast is invalidated and she is obliged to pay the kaffarah. The husband is not obliged to pay it, because insanity counts as a valid shariah excuse. This is the opinion of al-Imrani in al-Bayan, as cited in the answer.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Apabila seorang gila bersetubuh dengan isterinya pada siang hari, maka terbatallah puasa isterinya dan wajib ke atas isterinya kaffarah, tidak ke atas suaminya kerana termasuk dalam uzur syar'ie, dengan sebab gila.
