قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) الرَّجُلُ الْأَحْمَقُ الذَّاهِبُ الْعَقْلِ يَجُوزُ طَلَاقُ وَلِيِّهِ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ وَ لِمَ لَا يُطَلِّقُ هُوَ قُلْتُ لَا يُؤْمَنُ إِنْ طَلَّقَ هُوَ أَنْ يَقُولَ غَداً لَمْ أُطَلِّقْ أَوْ لَا يُحْسِنُ أَنْ يُطَلِّقَ قَالَ مَا أَرَى وَلِيَّهُ إِلَّا بِمَنْزِلَةِ السُّلْطَانِ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from Al Nazar Bin Suweyd, from Muhammad Bin Abu Hamza, from Abu Khalid Al Qammat who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, ‘The man, the idiot, the one with the intellect gone, is the divorce of his guardian allowed over him?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Why does he himself does not divorce?’ I said, ‘It is not trusted if he were to divorce, and tomorrow he would be saying, ‘I did not divorce’, or he is not proficient in the divorce’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘I<sup>asws</sup> do not see his guardian except being at the status of the Sultan (ruling authority)’.
