LessonsKhiyar al-Ayb: Defects, Remedies and WaiverQuiz

وَالْإِبَاقُ وَالْبَوْلُ فِي الْفِرَاشِ وَالسَّرِقَةُ عَيْبٌ فِي الصَّغِيرِ مَا لَمْ يَبْلُغْ، فَإِذَا بَلَغَ فَلَيْسَ ذَلِكَ بِعَيْبٍ حَتَّى يُعَاوِدَهُ بَعْدَ الْبُلُوغِ
Translation: The historical text treats specified behaviors in minors as defects, but a childhood occurrence alone is not carried across puberty unless the behavior recurs after maturity.

This is a historical juristic rule concerning the former institution of slavery, not modern authorization to trade human beings.

Its doctrinal point is timing and recurrence: an occurrence in childhood does not automatically prove the same condition in adult life. Quduri mentions recurrence after puberty.
