Is wudu' required for the tawaf of a child who has not reached the age of discernment?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is wudu' required for the tawaf of a child who has not reached the age of discernment, or is it sufficient to be pure from ritual impurity?

Answer:
A child who has not reached the age of discernment does not have ritual purity, because he does not have an intention, and wudu' is only valid with an intention. So he is taken for tawaf even if he has not performed wudu'.
