The answer

It is not permissible to take the money of an imbecile (safih) who spends it on alcohol and drugs, nor to conceal it. Rather, it must be returned to its owner, or the matter must be brought before the judiciary for an interdiction to be placed upon him, because an interdiction on an imbecile can only be made by a judge's ruling.
