Question:
This questioner says: Shaykh Salih, I have sons who are twelve and eleven years old, and I would like to take them with me to perform Hajj this year. Do you advise this, Honorable Shaykh? And what is the ruling on the Hajj of these children?
Answer:
Yes, this is a good thing. For any of them who has reached the age of discernment, it will be the obligatory Hajj. For any who has not reached it, it will be a voluntary Hajj; it will be a voluntary act for him. This carries great virtue. Yes, and they have reached the age of discernment or beyond, so their intention is present, and their purpose is also present, and they perform the rites of Hajj with their own hands. Yes.
