ما قالوا في طلاق المعتوهRuling on the Divorce of a Mentally Deficient Person
Hadith 18874
١٨٨٧٤ - حدثنا أبو بكر قال: (حدثنا) (١) أبو بكر الحنفي عن أسامة عن نافع أن (المجبر) (٢) بن عبد الرحمن طلق امرأته وهو معتوه (فأمر) (٣) ابن عمر أن (تعتد) (٤) فقيل له: إنه معتوه فقال: إني لم أسمع اللَّه استثنى لمعتوه طلاقا ولا غيره (٥).
Hazrat Nafi’ (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that Mujbir bin Abdur Rahman (may Allah have mercy on him) divorced his wife while she was in a state of diminished intellect, so Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) ordered his wife to observe the waiting period (‘iddah). It was said to him that she is of diminished intellect. Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) replied that he had not heard that Allah Almighty had made an exception for the divorce of someone of diminished intellect or anyone else.
