وَ رَوَى حَمَّادُ بْنُ عِيسَى عَنْ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنِ اَلْمَعْتُوهِ يَجُوزُ طَلاَقُهُ فَقَالَ "مَا هُوَ" فَقُلْتُ اَلْأَحْمَقُ اَلذَّاهِبُ اَلْعَقْلِ فَقَالَ "نَعَمْ".
Ḥammad ibn ʿIsa narrated from Shuʿayb, from Abu Baṣir, from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, that Imam عليه السلام who was asked about the validity of a divorce issued by a mentally impaired person (ma'tooh). Imam عليه السلام responded: "What do you mean by that?" I said: "The foolish one who lacks sound reasoning." Imam عليه السلام replied: "Yes, it is valid."
