Why must a child who performs Hajj before reaching puberty perform it again after reaching puberty?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : And he prayed it before he was held accountable, so is the stronger opinion that he may choose?
The Shaykh : The stronger opinion is that the prayer is not obligatory.
The questioner : It is obligatory for you.
The Shaykh : No, we say he prayed the midday prayer and fulfilled what he was commanded to do.
The questioner : What do we say about that in the hadith?
The Shaykh : What?
The questioner : Why do we say for us it is also a Hajj? Why do we say for us it is a Hajj?
The Shaykh : That is, you are asking: if he performed Hajj and completed it, is another Hajj obligatory for him? That is your question. The difference between them is that the prayer was performed in its proper time, it was performed in its proper time. It was the midday prayer, and it was the prayer he was commanded to perform, so his conscience is clear. Because he is not required to do more than this, but Hajj is not so. Hajj is not like the five prayers, every prayer has its own time. And there is a hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
