لَا يُحْجَرُ عَلَى السَّفِيهِ
Translation: The safih is not placed under interdiction.
In Abu Hanifah's view, an adult, free person with sound intellect is not placed under transactional interdiction solely because of improvidence. His transactions remain legally effective in principle, even if his financial conduct is wasteful and blameworthy.
This is not moral permission to squander wealth. The ethical evaluation of extravagance differs from the legal question whether an executed contract takes effect. The ruling concerns contractual capacity, not approval of financial irresponsibility.
