Hajr: causes of legal interdiction

This first part of the chapter on the causes of legal interdiction (hajr) gathers seventeen leaves of the fiqh encyclopedia: the consensus on interdicting the minor and its lifting at maturity, the definition of rashd (sound conduct with wealth), the timing and method of testing the orphan, the acts of the minor before puberty, destruction committed by the minor and the insane, the minor's liability, the question of the ruler's judgment in lifting the interdiction, the signs of puberty, then the interdiction of the insane and its lifting, the interdiction of the slave, and the interdiction of the prodigal adult of sound mind (safih), with the definition of prodigality and the role of the judge in interdicting him and releasing him. Each leaf cites its Quranic and prophetic evidence, the exact positions of the Hanafis, Malikis, Shafi'is and Hanbalis, and the classical references.
