Chapter on Zakat of the Wealth of Children and the Insane

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنِ اَلْفَضْلِ بْنِ شَاذَانَ عَنِ اِبْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَلرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ اَلْحَجَّاجِ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ اِمْرَأَةٌ مِنْ أَهْلِنَا مُخْتَلِطَةٌ عَلَيْهَا زَكَاةٌ »إِ نْ كَانَ عُمِلَ بِهِ فَعَلَيْهَا زَكَاةٌ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يُعْمَلْ بِهِ فَلاَ«.
Muhammad ibn Yaqub, from Muhammad ibn Ismail, from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan, from Ibn Abi Umayr, from Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Hajjaj, who said: I (narrator) said to Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him: “A woman from among our people is mentally confused (mukhtalitah), ‘Is there zakat upon her?’” Imam عليه السلام said: “If it has been traded with, then zakat is upon her, and if it has not been traded with, then no.”
