Completing the Sa'y for a Small Girl Who Did Not Finish It

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says: We performed 'Umrah in Ramadan, and with us was a small girl who had not reached puberty. She performed tawaf and sa'y, but she did not complete the sa'y; she only did three rounds and did not finish, then she cut her hair. Is her 'Umrah valid? And if her 'Umrah is not valid, does she have to offer a sacrifice? I ask for clarification. May Allah reward you.

The Shaykh:
Complete it for her, and that is sufficient. She completes the sa'y and shortens her hair. The shortening is confirmed, and her 'Umrah is completed, and praise be to Allah. It is not an obligatory 'Umrah for her, but since she started it, teach her to complete it. She is not currently of the age of obligation, but later she will be obligated. However, since you included her in the 'Umrah, complete it, and then the shortening is confirmed.

Another questioner:
How many 'Umrahs does she owe?

The Shaykh:
It is not obligatory. The obligatory acts have not become required of her yet, but if you repeat it and she completes it, that is better and more excellent. Yes.
