Question:
He asks: How is the 'Umrah performed for a child aged five or six years, specifically regarding his or her ihram, tawaf, and the two-rak'ah prayer after tawaf?

Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. If the child does not have the capacity to distinguish, his or her guardian enters ihram on his or her behalf, makes the intention on his or her behalf, and if the child is male, removes the sewn garments and dresses him in the ihram clothes. If the child is female, she is prevented from the prohibitions of ihram, up to and including the use of perfume.
Other than that, and wearing the burqu' (face veil), niqab (face veil), and gloves, meaning she is prevented from what an adult woman is prevented from in ihram. The guardian makes the intention for a child who does not have the capacity to distinguish, and performs tawaf and sa'y with him or her, and shortens the hair with the intention of 'Umrah. However, if the child has the capacity to distinguish, reaching the age of seven years or more, then the child makes the intention, enters ihram, and performs tawaf and sa'y like an adult.
