Question:
This person is asking about a child who did not complete the sa'y, and he says: "I issued a fatwa to him that he owes nothing." This is a mistake.
Answer:
You made a mistake. It is obligatory to complete the sa'y, even if it is a child. If a person enters the state of ihram for 'Umrah or Hajj, he must complete it. Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Baqarah 2:196] So the guardian of this child must bring him and have him perform the sa'y, or complete his sa'y. He completes his sa'y and there is nothing on him; he may shorten his hair, complete his sa'y, and his 'Umrah is completed.

وَأَتِمُّوا الْحَجَّ وَالْعُمْرَةَ لِلَّهِ
