4190 - وَ رَوَى حَمَّادٌ عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ : سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ ذَبِيحَةِ اَلْمَرْأَةِ فَقَالَ "إِنْ كُنَّ نِسَاءً لَيْسَ مَعَهُنَّ رَجُلٌ فَلْتَذْبَحْ أَعْلَمُهُنَّ وَ لْتَذْكُرِ اِسْمَ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ" وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ ذَبِيحَةِ اَلصَّبِيِّ فَقَالَ "إِذَا تَحَرَّكَ وَ كَانَ خَمْسَةَ أَشْبَارٍ وَ أَطَاقَ اَلشَّفْرَةَ ".
Hadith.4190 - And Hammad narrated from Hariz, from Muhammad ibn Muslim, who said: I asked Abu Abdullah (as), about the slaughtering done by a woman. Imam (as) said: "If they are women and there is no man among them, then the most knowledgeable one among them should slaughter and mention the name of Allah (swt) upon it." And I asked Imam (as) about the slaughtering done by a boy. Imam (as) said: "If he has reached the age where he can move, is five spans tall, and can handle the knife, then it is permissible."
