Chapter on Zakat of the Wealth of Children and the Insane

عَلِيُّ بْنُ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ وَأَحْمَدَ اِبْنَيِ اَلْحَسَنِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ اَلْهَاشِمِيِّ عَنْ مَرْوَانَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:» كَانَ أَبِي يُخَالِفُ اَلنَّاسَ فِي مَالِ اَلْيَتِيمِ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ زَكَاةٌ«.
Ali ibn al-Hasan ibn Faddal, from Muhammad and Ahmad, the two sons of al-Hasan, from Ali ibn Yaqub al-Hashimi, from Marwan ibn Muslim, from Abu al-Hasan, from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, who said: Imam al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: “My father (Imam al-Baqir عليه السلام) used to differ from the people regarding the wealth of the orphan: ‘there is no zakat upon it.’”
