Chapter on the Age at Which a Child's Bequest Becomes Valid
وَ رَوَى صَفْوَانُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ بَكْرٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَ قَالَ: "إِذَا أَتَى عَلَى اَلْغُلاَمِ عَشْرُ سِنِينَ فَإِنَّهُ يَجُوزُ لَهُ فِي مَالِهِ مَا أَعْتَقَ أَوْ تَصَدَّقَ وَ أَوْصَى عَلَى حَدٍّ مَعْرُوفٍ وَ حَقٍّ فَهُوَ جَائِزٌ".
Ṣafwan ibn Yahya narrated from Musa ibn Bakr from Zurarah from Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir عليه السلام, who said: "When a boy reaches the age of ten, whatever he does with his wealth - whether he frees a slave, gives charity, or makes a will within reasonable limits and rightful matters - is valid."
