Ihram of the small child in 'Umrah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What Allah willed, a man goes to perform 'Umrah with a child who is one and a half years old. He says: How does it work? Does he have to be in a state of ihram? May Allah reward you.
Answer:
It is not obligatory, and if I see it on him, there is no harm. We strip him of the sewn garments; a man is stripped of his sewn clothes, and his head is wrapped. If they bring him something of perfume or the like, that is fine, and if they leave it out, there is no harm; it is not obligatory. Some people do not know how to leave it out, so it is safer for him not to exert himself.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
