The Intention in the Hajj of a Child and Who Takes Charge of It
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The child himself, for example, who intends on his behalf? Who is the guardian? Who is it?
The Shaykh:
Whoever takes charge of him in the Hajj, whoever is with him in the Hajj is sufficient, or rather, whoever attends to his affairs in the Hajj, even if it is not his mother, or it is necessary.
The questioner:
And if he narrated to us.
The Shaykh:
His brother is sufficient, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not say anything specific about this; he said, "You will have a reward," and he did not say, "I do not love him except his father," nor "I do not love him except his mother," because this is a matter of choice, a matter of wealth that burdens the child, a large amount of wealth.
