Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 3|Book 4|Chapter 5
رَوَى عَبْدُ اَلْكَرِيمِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو عَنِ اَلْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ طَلاَقِ اَلْمَعْتُوهِ اَلزَّائِلِ اَلْعَقْلِ أَ يَجُوزُ فَقَالَ "لاَ" وَ عَنِ اَلْمَرْأَةِ إِذَا كَانَتْ كَذَلِكَ يَجُوزُ بَيْعُهَا وَ صَدَقَتُهَا فَقَالَ "لاَ".
Abd al-Karim ibn ʿAmr narrated from al-Ḥalabi from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام who said: I asked Imam عليه السلام about the divorce of a mentally impaired person whose intellect is diminished, whether it is permissible? Imam عليه السلام replied: "No." I (narrator) also asked about a woman in the same condition, whether it is permissible to sell her property or manage her dowry? He replied: "No."
