سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) فِي كَمْ يُؤْخَذُ الصَّبِيُّ بِالصِّيَامِ قَالَ مَا بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَ خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً وَ أَرْبَعَ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً فَإِنْ هُوَ صَامَ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ فَدَعْهُ وَ لَقَدْ صَامَ ابْنِي فُلَانٌ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ فَتَرَكْتُهُ .


Translation

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from Fazalat Bin Ayou, from Muawiya Bin Wahab who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> regarding at what age the children can be asked with the Fasts. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘What is between him and fifteen years, and fourteen years of age. So if he was to Fast before that, so let him. My<sup>asws</sup> so and so son Fasted before that, so I let him do it’.
