Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner says: I performed 'Umrah with my small child, who is one year old. I dressed him in sewn clothing because he is sick. I was told that I have the choice between fasting, giving charity, or sacrificing an animal. Is it permissible for me to fast on his behalf?
Answer:
Yes, you are responsible for him. You are the one who put him in the state of ihram. He has no intellect and no ability to distinguish, so you are responsible for every mistake that happens to him, including the fidyah (ransom payment) that is upon you. Yes.
