Question:
I intended to perform 'Umrah, and my son, who is seven years old, was with me. I intended 'Umrah for him as well. After arriving at the Haram, he did not perform 'Umrah. What is required of him?
Answer:
He is required to perform 'Umrah with him, respond to his call, perform tawaf with him, perform sa'y with him, and shorten his hair, because he is still in the state of ihram. The adult and the child are the same in this regard; if one enters the state of ihram, it is obligatory for him to complete the 'Umrah and the Hajj if he entered ihram for them. Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Baqarah 2:196] meaning that it is obligatory to complete both after entering ihram for them. Yes.
