Eating the Qurbaani meat of a person who is mentally unwell

Q: I would like to know that if a person is mentally ill and he makes Qurbaani with his money (which is given to him by the government every month and saved for him), can we eat from that meat or must all be given out?

A: It is permissible to eat from the meat.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
