The Ablution of a Girl Before Tawaf

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This is a woman asking, and she says: If there is a girl who is five years old, and we want to put her in the state of ihram, is it required that we perform wudu for her before tawaf?

Answer:
Performing wudu before tawaf is not required; it is a recommended practice (sunnah) if possible, and if not, it is not obligatory. Yes.
