The Hajj of a Child and Whether It Suffices for the Hajj of Islam

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
She says regarding the hadith: The woman who carried the child asked, "Is this a Hajj for him?" He said, "Yes, and you will have a reward." Does it suffice for the Hajj of Islam?

Answer:
No, it does not suffice for the Hajj of Islam because he is not accountable and not an adult; it is only a voluntary act on his part. His guardian receives a reward if he takes him for Hajj or 'Umrah. A woman brought a child to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
a child and said: Messenger of Allah, would he be credited with Hajj? He said: Yes. and for you there would be a reward.صبيا فقالت يا رسول الله ألهذا حج؟ قال نعم ولك أجر
Sahih Muslim 1336c
This Hajj is a voluntary act, so when he reaches maturity, he will perform the Hajj of Islam. Yes, the Hajj of Islam, or the Hajj of Islam. Yes.
