The Ruling on Taking Children to Hajj
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: In our intention, we are performing Hajj this year, and we actually have children who are ten and eleven years old. Do we go with them to Hajj?
Answer:
Yes, if you take them with you to Hajj, and they enter the state of ihram with you, and they perform the rites with you, then it is recommended (mustahabb) to do so, and they receive reward for it. For them, it is a voluntary act (nafilah). However, when they reach puberty, it becomes obligatory (wajib) for them to perform the Hajj of Islam and the 'Umrah of Islam. They receive reward for that, and you also receive reward for it, because you helped them to perform this act of obedience. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
