For whom is the tawaf performed when a guardian carries a small child?

Question:
The questioner says: If a guardian enters the state of ihram with a small child and carries him during the tawaf, is it correct that the Hanbalis (may Allah have mercy on them) hold that the tawaf is performed on behalf of the one being carried, i.e., the child, and not on behalf of the one carrying him?

Answer:
It is according to the intention, they say. According to the intention: if he intends the tawaf on behalf of the one being carried, it is for the one being carried; and if he intends the tawaf on behalf of himself, it is for himself. It is according to the intention, for actions are by intentions. However, Shaykh 'Abd al-'Aziz ibn Baz (may Allah have mercy on him) says in his manual that one carries the child and performs tawaf with him, and the tawaf is valid for him and for the child. It is valid for him and for the child being carried, because there is no evidence that it is only for the child, and that he must perform sa'y afterwards. Yes.
