Question:
Sura' Malik, regarding the report of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saying to al-Hasan, "Kha, kha, may you be cursed," does this imply that everything prohibited for an adult is prohibited for a child?
Answer:
That is the default ruling, whereas the evidence for the exception is that this is the default. Just as it is prohibited for an adult to seize people's property or oppress people, it is prohibited for a child to oppress anyone or transgress against people's children. He is prevented from eating what is forbidden or drinking intoxicants. This is how it is, so that he may be trained and good may come to him. Otherwise, he bears no sin, but his guardian is not a leader who leaves him to develop good habits.
