Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, are children required, if they enter the state of ihram with their families for Hajj or 'Umrah, to observe the prohibitions of ihram, its obligations, the pillars of Hajj and 'Umrah, and ritual purity for tawaf?
Answer:
Yes, the rulings of ihram apply to them whether they are adults or children. If they are of the age of discernment, they must avoid the prohibitions of ihram. If they are below the age of discernment, their guardian is the one who keeps them away from the prohibitions of ihram and protects them until they complete the rites for which they entered ihram. In this regard, they are like adults. Yes.
