Circumambulation with a small child being carried
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
It was also asked about something: does the ruling apply to the friend, then the student, and the questioner, and the rules regarding carrying only? Is it permissible to perform the circumambulation on their behalf and count it for them? And is it permissible to receive food during the circumambulation?
Answer:
They are carried during the circumambulation. If one performs the circumambulation while carrying them, the circumambulation is valid for them, and it is also valid for him. It is permissible for him to perform the circumambulation for himself while carrying the child in the state of ihram, so that the circumambulation counts for both: for the one being carried and for the one carrying. This is a matter of facilitating things. We do not say that you must first perform the circumambulation for yourself, then go back and fetch the child, carry him, and perform the circumambulation again, because this involves hardship and the danger of a crush. Yes.
