Ihram of a non-discriminating child in Hajj

The questioner:
His second point: He says: My children and I will go, and with us is a child who is three and a half years old. Does he enter ihram normally like an adult, or is it possible that he does not enter ihram?

The Shaykh:
It is possible that he does not enter ihram if it is difficult for you. But if you want the reward and the reward, then you intend the ihram on his behalf, because he does not understand the intention. So you enter ihram on his behalf with the intention, and you keep him away from the prohibitions of ihram, and you do for him what you do for him today, such as tawaf, sa'y, and shortening the hair or shaving it. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh, and may Allah bless you and your knowledge, and may He benefit Islam and the Muslims through you.

The Shaykh:
Thank you, brothers and sisters, for your kindness in posing these questions to His Eminence Shaykh Salih ibn Fawzan al-Fawzan, a member of the Senior Scholars’ Committee and a member of the Permanent Committee for Scholarly Research and Ifta. May we meet again, if Allah wills, and may peace and the mercy and blessings of Allah be upon you.
