The ruling on completing 'Umrah on behalf of a small child

Question:
He says: I have a child who is four years old. He entered the state of ihram, and when we arrived in Makkah, he fell asleep. We went to perform 'Umrah and left him behind, and he did not perform 'Umrah. Is there anything required of us in this matter?

Answer:
Yes. It is obligatory for you to enable him to perform 'Umrah if he is able to do it himself. If he is too young to do it himself, you carry him, you circumambulate the Ka'bah with him, you walk between al-Safa and al-Marwah with him, and you shorten his hair. It is necessary to perform 'Umrah, either by himself or by you performing it on his behalf until 'Umrah is completed. This is because when a Muslim enters the state of ihram for 'Umrah, he is required to complete it, whether he is an adult or a child, . That is to say, if he enters the state of ihram for it, he is required to complete it. Yes.
