The ruling on the fidyah (ransom payment) for a minor who refuses to complete the rites

Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah preserve you. Regarding the saying of Allah the Exalted: “And complete the Hajj and the ‘Umrah for Allah,” does this include a minor who has not reached puberty? In other words, if the minor refuses to complete the rites and throws away his ihram (consecrated state of pilgrimage), is his guardian required to slaughter a fidyah? Or does he overlook that?

Answer:
If he refuses to enter the state of ihram, he is not forced to do so because he has not entered the state of ihram. But if he has entered the state of ihram, his guardian is required to proceed with the rites and does not excuse him by saying, “This is a minor,” because the verse is general. The verse is general. Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, says, “And complete [the rites] for Allah.” This is a general command for the minor and the adult. Everyone who enters the state of ihram is required to complete the rites. If the minor has no intellect or discernment, his guardian is the one addressed, and he is the one who manages the matter until the stations are completed. And if he is concerned about the minor’s ihram being a tamattu’ (combining ‘Umrah and Hajj with a break between them) ihram, he does not put him in that state from the beginning, and he performs the rites for him from the beginning. Yes.
