<div dir="ltr"><<What happens if the person you sent Mishloach Manos to is dead drunk,<br>
are you yotzei? Rav Menashe Klein (Mishneh Halachos (4:91) says<br>
probably not. Halachically someone who has reached the level of<br>
intoxication of Lot is like a Shoteh and patur from Mitzvos. He<br>
reasons that the mitzva of Mishloach Manos depends on the status of<br>
the recipient and not the sender. If so you have sent to someone who<br>
is patur from the Mitzva and therefore you are not Yotzei. However if<br>
he has time to sober up before Purim is over then you are yotzei.>><br>

If the recipient refuses to accept the shalch manot it is a machloket whether<br>one has fulfilled shalach manot. I thought the generally accepted view was that<br>bidived one is yotzeh<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Eli Turkel<br>
