If one performs tawaf during Hajj while carrying his daughter, is it obligatory for him to perform tawaf for himself first and then for her, or is one tawaf sufficient?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for me during tawaf in Hajj or 'Umrah to perform tawaf carrying my small daughter, or must I first perform tawaf for myself and then carry her and perform tawaf with her? The same applies in the case of sa'y?

Answer:
The jurists have stated that he should perform tawaf with her first, or perform tawaf for himself first and then perform tawaf with her, so two tawafs are required. However, this involves hardship, especially in the final days with the crowds and danger. The religion is ease, praise be to Allah. He performs tawaf with her, and this counts for him and for her. It is true that she performed tawaf while being carried, and it is true that he performed tawaf while walking. Yes, this is a matter of facilitation, and there is no evidence that he must repeat tawaf twice. There is no evidence, given the hardship and danger in our days. Yes.
