Relying on a Child’s Report Regarding the Adhan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
This man says: A woman who broke her fast asked a child about the adhan, and he told her that the adhan had been called. It then became clear to her that the adhan had not been called.
The Shaykh:
The one who erred is the child. One does not rely on his report. One does not rely on the report of a mature, trustworthy adult, but rather on the report of a trustworthy adult. As for a child, one does not rely on him. Therefore, she must make up this day. Yes, I told you: We do not issue rulings on divorce. Divorce requires procedures, and it requires the presence of the divorcing husband and questioning him: how he divorced, when, and what the reason was. It is not done through a simple fatwa on divorce. But, excuse me.
