If a young child enters the state of ihram for 'Umrah and does not complete it, is there anything required of him?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : There is a second question, may Allah prolong your life. Yes. There is, may Allah prolong your life. We performed 'Umrah in Ramadan. Yes. And we had two small children with us. Yes. And we all intended for them to perform 'Umrah, meaning they would perform 'Umrah. Yes. But they were unable to do the sa'y and tawaf. And what is it called, complete the 'Umrah.
The Shaykh : By Allah, my brother, I see.
The questioner : This.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : What is the ruling, may Allah prolong your life?
The Shaykh : May Allah keep you safe. If you know that the time is crowded and difficult, it is better that you do not burden them, and do not burden yourselves.
The questioner : They are young, and they have a strong desire, and we also encouraged them.
The Shaykh : How old are they?
The questioner : By Allah, their ages are twelve and under.
The Shaykh : In any case, some scholars hold that a young child is not required to complete the rites, and that if he leaves them off, nothing is required of him. However, the well-known position in the Hanbali school is that he is required to complete this rite.
The questioner : May Allah magnify your reward.
The Shaykh : So my advice to you is that if these are small children, and the weather is hot, or it is a season of crowds, do not burden them to enter Makkah, enter the Haram, and pray. And nothing is required of them.
The questioner : May Allah magnify your reward. In any case, is there something required of them or not? I mean, regarding my question, is there a blood sacrifice required of them, or of us?
The Shaykh : There is scholarly disagreement on this issue, as I told you, and I hope you do not return to something like this.
The questioner : Rather.
The Shaykh : Do not return to something like this.
The questioner : Good, if Allah wills. May Allah magnify your reward.
The Shaykh : May Allah bless you.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good for us and for the Muslims.
The Shaykh : May Allah reward you with good.
The questioner : May Allah prolong your life and yours, in.
The Shaykh : Allah.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good, goodbye.
The Shaykh : By Allah, my brother, I see.
The questioner : This.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : What is the ruling, may Allah prolong your life?
