Hadith 335
۞
Hadith.1906 - In the narration of Mu'awiyah ibn Wahb, he said:
"I asked Abu Abdullah (as) at what age a child should be required to fast.
Imam (as) said: 'Between fourteen and fifteen years of age. If he fasts before that, let him be. My son so-and-so fasted before that age, and I left him to it.'"
1906 - وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ وَهْبٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فِي كَمْ يُؤْخَذُ اَلصَّبِيُّ بِالصِّيَامِ قَالَ «مَا بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَ خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً أَوْ أَرْبَعَ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً فَإِنْ هُوَ صَامَ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ فَدَعْهُ وَ لَقَدْ صَامَ اِبْنِي فُلاَنٌ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ فَتَرَكْتُهُ».
