Hazrat Ata narrates the statement of Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) that the freeing of a slave by a child, his will, his buying and selling, and his divorce are not valid.

Hisham narrates that Hasan said: The will of a boy is not valid before he reaches puberty, and the will of a girl is not valid before she experiences menstruation.

Zuhri says that the will of a child is not permissible, except for that wealth which is of little importance.

Makhool says that when a child reaches the age of fifteen years, it is permissible for him to make a will.

It is narrated from Hasan that the will of a minor child is not permissible.

It is narrated from Mustamir bin Rayyan that he said: I was in the Grand Mosque with Hazrat Jabir bin Zaid when Hazrat Zararah bin Aufi, who was the judge at that time, said to him: A case has come before me of a minor boy who had freed his slave, and the guardians refused to accept it. My opinion was to reject this emancipation, and then later, when the boy reaches maturity and love for wealth enters his heart, at that time if he wishes to enforce the emancipation of the slave, he may do so, and if he wishes to withdraw from the emancipation, he may do so.
