سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ ذَبِيحَةِ الصَّبِيِّ فَقَالَ إِذَا تَحَرَّكَ وَ كَانَ لَهُ خَمْسَةُ أَشْبَارٍ وَ أَطَاقَ الشَّفْرَةَ وَ عَنْ ذَبِيحَةِ الْمَرْأَةِ فَقَالَ إِنْ كُنَّ نِسَاءً لَيْسَ مَعَهُنَّ رَجُلٌ فَلْتَذْبَحْ أَعْقَلُهُنَّ وَ لْتَذْكُرِ اسْمَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَلَيْهَا .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Hammad, from Al Halby, from Hareyz, from Muhammad Bin Muslim who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> about a slaughter by the child. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘When he is active, and is of five palms height, and can wield a blade’. And about a slaughter by a woman, so he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘If there were women and there was no man among them, so let the most intelligent of them slaughter, and let her mention the Name of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic over it’.
