From this, it is understood that the young child is not accountable until he reaches pubescence. Likewise, the insane person is not accountable. The pubescent one who did not receive the message of Islam is also not accountable.

Allah, ta^ala, said in the Qur’an:

وَمَا كُنَّا مُعَذِّبِينَ حَتَّى نَبْعَثَ رَسُولاً

Wa ma kunna mu^adhdhibina hatta nab^atha rasula.

Ayah 15 of Suratul-Isra’ means: {Allah does not torture those who do not receive the basic message of Islam.}
