The ruling on one who performs tawaf while carrying another person who is also performing tawaf?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : The questioner asks: Is the tawaf of a person performing 'Umrah valid if he is carrying another person with him, and how should he act in this situation?

Answer : Yes, it is permissible for a person to carry someone and perform tawaf with him while performing tawaf himself, provided that the person being carried is of sound mind, has made the intention, and the carrier says to him, “I will carry you on my shoulder, and I intend to perform tawaf,” while the carrier also intends to perform tawaf. There is nothing wrong with this, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
The reward of deeds depends upon the intentions and every person will get the reward according to what he has intended.إنما الأعمال بالنيات وإنما لكل امرئ ما نوى
Sahih al-Bukhari 1
and these two people, or the man and the woman. That is to say, if he is carrying his mother and each of them has intended tawaf, then each of them gets what he or she intended. It is like the sa'y (walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah) now. In the sa'y area, there are people who carry the disabled person, and the one carrying the disabled person intends sa'y, and the one being carried intends sa'y. Is it valid or not? It is valid. Yes.
