Is it permissible for an intoxicated person who has lost his mind to touch the Mus'haf and recite the Qur'an after his intoxication has worn off, and will his prayers be accepted for 40 days?
Loss of intellect due to intoxication invalidates ablution, and it is not permissible for one who is not in a state of ablution to touch the (copy of the Qur’an) unless their ritual impurity is minor and they touch it with the intention of learning or teaching. It is permissible for an intoxicated person to recite the Qur’an if their intellect is sound and provided they are not in a state of major ritual impurity (). As for sins, they do not completely prevent the acceptance of acts of obedience; rather, they prevent complete acceptance if their perpetrator is free from associating partners with Allah the Almighty. Thus, the piety () by which Allah accepts deeds is the avoidance of (polytheism).
