. قَالَ مَالِكٌ : الْإِحْدَادُ عَلَى الصَّبِيَّةِ الَّتِي لَمْ تَبْلُغْ الْمَحِيضَ، كَهَيْئَتِهِ عَلَى الَّتِي قَدْ بَلَغَتِ الْمَحِيضَ، تَجْتَنِبُ مَا تَجْتَنِبُ الْمَرْأَةُ الْبَالِغَةُ إِذَا هَلَكَ عَنْهَا زَوْجُهَا .
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said that if a woman is not yet of age and does not menstruate, she is like an adult woman; when her husband dies, she must observe mourning, and she must also avoid those matters which are obligatory for an adult woman to avoid.
