Hadith #52

وَ رَوَى مُحَمَّدٌ اَلْحَلَبِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: "لاَ يَجُوزُ فِي اَلْقَتْلِ إِلاَّ رَجُلٌ وَ يَجُوزُ فِي اَلظِّهَارِ وَ كَفَّارَةِ اَلْيَمِينِ صَبِيٌّ".

Muhammad al-Halabi narrated from Abu Abdillah who said: "In cases of murder, only an adult man is permissible for expiation. However, in cases of ẓihar and the expiation of oaths, a young boy is permissible."
