Salam Peace in Ireland
Joshua is right, I looked up for the verse that supports that the Mentally disabled will not be held accountable, for you to see but I couldn't find it,
But I found this hadeeth
<b>Prophet Muhammad (pbuh):</b>
“The pen does not record the deeds of three persons: the child until the age of puberty; the sleeping person until he wakes up; <b>the insane until he is sane.” </b>(Reported by Aḥmad and at-Tirmidhi.)
A person who is mentally disabled, will not be held responsible for anything. All people born with mental disorders (whether Muslims or non-Muslims) will go to heaven by the Will of God. Since they didn't have the mental capacity to reason and accept God, God doesn't hold them responsible for any of their acts.
Allah knows full well who deserves to go to Heaven and who deserves to go to Hell, Why would Allah punish someone who doesn't even know what they're doing? Allah is the most Mercyful, He is the most kind, he would never do anyone unjustly.
