Loss of reason

Makhul said that Sayyiduna Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) said: When the intellect is lost, there is blood money.

Ibn Abi Najih said that Mujahid said: When the intellect is lost, there is blood money.

Ash'ath said that al-Hasan al-Basri was asked: If someone frightens a man and his intellect is lost, what is the ruling? He said: If Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) had come across him, he would certainly have held him liable.

Awf said: I heard a certain elder before the tribulation of Ibn al-Ash'ath, and he described his attributes. They said: This is Abu al-Muhallab, the paternal uncle of Abu Qilabah. He said: A man struck another man on the head with a stone, and his hearing, speech, intellect and sexual power were lost, and that man could not go near women. So Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) ruled four blood moneys in his case.
