Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 18874 — Divorce by a mentally deficient
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).
Nafi' (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Al-Mujabbar bin Abd al-Rahman (may Allah have mercy on him) divorced his wife while he was mentally deficient, and Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) ordered his wife to observe the waiting period ('iddah). It was said to him: He is mentally deficient. Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: I have not heard that Allah Almighty made an exception for the mentally deficient person, whether in divorce or in anything else.
