1 - The Foetal stage: An incomplete Ahliyah is established for the foetus within the womb of the mother and so rights are established for it that do not require an acceptance (Qabool) for it to be affirmed. This includes the Meeraath (inheritance) and Wasiyah (will). As for the Huqooq (rights) requiring Qabool (an acceptance) like the receiving of gifts, then this is not established for the foetus. The Ahliyah of Adaa’ performance is also not established or affirmed for the foetus.

2 – The stage of childhood (As-Sabiy):

This is from the birth until the age of Tamyeez (discernment) which is seven years of age.

The Wujoob Kaamilah (complete obligation) is affirmed from the child (Sabiy) and so it is valid for him to attain rights and to carry obligations that are permitted for the Waliy (guardian) to perform on his behalf. This includes the Zakaah, Sadaqat ul-Fitr and the guarantee in respect to what is damaged from the properties of others.
