Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: I went to perform 'Umrah, and my young son, who is eight years old, was with me. At the miqat, I dressed him in the clothes of ihram, but he did not say anything, and I did not intend it on his behalf. He says: When we started the tawaf, he completed one circuit, then he got tired and did not finish. Is there anything required of us in this matter?

Answer:
Eight years old, this is a child of discernment. He intends, he holds the intention in his mind, and he intends at the time of ihram. You do not intend on his behalf; he intends, because at eight years old, he is a child of discernment. So if he walked with you, his ruling is the same as yours. He has entered the state of ihram for 'Umrah, so he must complete it. He must complete it. Yes.
