Forgetting the Talbiyah for the Child at the Miqat

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I was performing Hajj with my daughter, who was one year old, and I intended the Hajj on her behalf. However, at the miqat, I forgot to recite the talbiyah on her behalf, and I did not remember until about ten kilometers past the miqat. I then recited the talbiyah for her at that time, and she completed the rites, and we completed all the rituals together. Is anything required of me?

Answer:
If your intention was that you did not intend the Hajj for her until after you had passed the miqat, then a fidyah (ransom payment) is required of her, because she passed the miqat without entering the state of ihram and entered ihram after passing it, meaning you intended it for her after passing it. You are her representative. But if you intended it for her at the miqat but did not recite the talbiyah for her, the talbiyah is a recommended practice (sunnah) and is not obligatory; if you did not recite it at all, her Hajj and your Hajj are valid. Yes.
