The Sacrifice for a Patient with Alzheimer's

Question
Is it permissible to perform the sacrifice and give charity on behalf of a patient with Alzheimer's from their own money, and is it permissible to manage their money?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: If a person with Alzheimer's is completely out of their mind, they are exempt from obligations, and thus they should not sacrifice from their wealth nor give charity from it. However, if they are sometimes in their right mind, they remain obligated, and the sacrifice is required from them, and they should sacrifice from their wealth. And God knows best.
