THE FOUR IMĀMS OF THE SALAF PERMITTED CONSUMMATION WITH A ŞAGHĪRAH [MINOR] WIFE

if the husband and the Walī agree upon something that will not cause harm to the Şaghīrah girl, then that may be done. If they disagree, then Aĥmad and Abū Úbayd said that once a girl reaches the age of nine [lunar years] then the marriage may be consummated without her
consent, but that does not apply in the case of who is younger. Mālik, Shāfiýī and Abū Ĥanīfah said that the marriage may be consummated when the girl is able for intercourse, which varies from one girl to another, so no age limit can be set. This is the correct view;
there is nothing in the Ĥadīth of Áāyishah to set an age limit, or to prohibit that in the case of a girl who is able for it before the age of nine, or to allow it in the case of a girl who is not able for it and has reached the age of nine.”
