Is the 'Umrah of an infant less than one year old valid?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: Is the 'Umrah of an infant less than one year old valid?

Answer:
Yes, the 'Umrah and Hajj of an infant are valid. However, his guardian must keep him away from the prohibitions of ihram, carry him during the tawaf and sa'y, and shave his head, and with this his 'Umrah is completed. As for if he is of discernment, he enters ihram for himself, and he is the one who performs tawaf and sa'y for himself along with his guardian. Yes.
