42. Annulment and Divorce
٤٢۔ كِتَابُ الْخُلْعِ وَالطَّلَاقِ
[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ who said: "The pen has been lifted for three: the sleeper until he wakes up, the child until he reaches maturity, and the insane person until he regains sanity." This narration has been reported to us through various chains of transmission from Ali. And Al-Shafi'i, may Allah have mercy on him, used the hadith of Ibn Umar as evidence in regards to permission during battles, and this has already passed.
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ رُفِعَ الْقَلَمُ عَنْ ثَلَاثَةٍ عَنِ النَّائِمِ حَتَّى يَسْتَيْقِظَ وَعَنِ الصَّبِيِّ حَتَّى يَحْتَلِمَ وَعَنِ الْمَجْنُونِ حَتَّى يَعْقِلَ وَرُوِّينَاهُ مِنْ أَوْجُهٍ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ؓ وَاحْتَجَّ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ بِحَدِيثِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ؓ فِي الْإِجَازَةِ فِي الْقِتَالِ وَقَدْ مَضَى
[Machine] About Al-Sha'bi, Al-Hasan, and Ibrahim, they said that it is not permissible to divorce a child or set them free until they reach puberty. It has been narrated from Jabir ibn Zaid, Ibrahim, Abu Qilaba, and others that they did not permit the divorce of a child who had been dyed with henna. And about Al-Sha'bi and Ibrahim regarding one who divorces and sets free in a dream, they said: it is not anything.
عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ وَالْحَسَنِ وَإِبْرَاهِيمَ أَنَّهُمْ قَالُوا لَا يَجُوزُ طَلَاقُ الصَّبِيِّ وَلَا عِتْقُهُ حَتَّى يَحْتَلِمَ وَرُوِّينَا عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ وَإِبْرَاهِيمَ وَأَبِي قِلَابَةَ وَغَيْرِهِمْ أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا لَا يُجِيزُونَ طَلَاقَ الْمُبَرْسَمِ وَعَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ وَإِبْرَاهِيمَ فِي الَّذِي يُطَلِّقُ وَيَعْتِقُ فِي الْمَنَامِ قَالَا لَيْسَ بِشَيْءٍ
