Owner’s Legal Maturity and Independence as a Condition for Valid Trade

Written by: Imran Ayub Lahori


1. Requirement of Reaching the Age of Responsibility


Until a person reaches the age of legal responsibility (سنّ تکلیف), his disposal of wealth is not valid, as Allah ﷻ says:


فَإِنْ آنَسْتُم مِّنْهُمْ رُشْدًا فَادْفَعُوا إِلَيْهِمْ أَمْوَالَهُمْ
"If you perceive in them sound judgment, then deliver to them their wealth."
[An-Nisa: 6]


2. Necessity of Independence (Self-Determination)


Independence is also essential because valid trade requires consent and heartfelt willingness, as has been established by the evidences mentioned earlier.
