“Dear brother/sister,”

“Según los imanes Ebu Hanife, Malik y Muhammed, no es obligatorio. Sin embargo, según los imanes Ebu Hanife y Muhammed, un niño no debe ser asesinado ni golpeado, sino que se le debe forzar a entrar en el Islam.”

“Un niño es considerado musulmán por sus padres, pero si alcanza la pubertad y no renuncia a su fe, será tratado como un niño. Esta persona estará obligada a seguir el Islam, pero no será asesinada. Sin embargo, si después de la pubertad profesa el Islam y luego renuncia a su fe, será condenada a muerte.”

“According to Imam Abu Yusuf and Imam Shafii, it is necessary to reach puberty. The apostasy of a child at the age of discernment is not valid, as they are not responsible. According to the majority of other Shafi’is, the entry of a child into Islam at the age of discernment is valid. In a sacred hadith:”

“This is ordered. In another hadith, the Noble Messenger (peace be upon him) said the following:”

“According to the majority opinion, it is valid for a child of discernment to convert or abandon Islam, but according to the Shafiites it is not valid. It is more preferable to follow the majority opinion regarding the acceptance of a child’s conversion to Islam at the age of discernment. This is because the Prophet Ali (may God be pleased with him) converted to Islam when he was young.”
