What is the evidence for the invalidity of a minor's sale?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The evidence for the invalidity of a minor's sale is the saying of Allah the Exalted:
And test the orphans وابتلوا اليتامى
... .

The Shaykh : Yes, and His saying:
And do not give the weak-minded your property ولا تؤتوا السفهاء أموالكم
[An-Nisa 4:5]
.

The questioner : But His saying:
And test the orphans وابتلوا اليتامى
What is the meaning of the verse ... if they mean it is possible ... .

The Shaykh :
until they reach marriageable age. Then if you perceive in them sound judgement, release their property to them حتى إذا بلغوا النكاح فإن ءانستم منهم رشدا فادفعوا إليهم أموالهم
[An-Nisa 4:6]
.

The questioner : It is not a condition ...

The Shaykh : It is a condition, except that the test is conducted before puberty. This test is not an absolute action; it is restricted by what the guardian deems appropriate. Yes, Sarur?
