    An atheist asked me that Some people, due to brain disorders or surgery, develop completely new personalitiessometimes changing every few minutes. Others become more violent or evil-minded because of their medical condition. These individuals might commit murders or serious crimes while knowing their actions are wrong, yet their intentions and will are shaped by the disorder. Islam teaches that judgment is based on intention, will, and action, and exempts only those who have completely lost their mental capacity. But what about those who still know right from wrong yet act on evil impulses caused by a medical issue? How will God judge them—especially those whose personalities and intentions shift rapidly, sometimes every 5mins. What is the law for these people from quran and hadith

    If our legal system can consider the circumstances and nature of a crime to determine whether a person deserves full punishment or some leniency, such as distinguishing between first-degree and lesser offenses, then surely God, who is not only Just but also All-Knowing, can do so even more perfectly. For instance, He prescribed half the punishment for slave girls involved in adultery, recognizing their lack of family protection and the poor environment in which they were raised. Even if they were later placed in a protected setting, their background was still taken into account.
