The Shaykh:
What is the ruling on what?

The questioner:
One who did not complete the rites of Hajj after the Tawaf of arrival, and had not yet reached puberty?

The Shaykh:
Did he enter the state of ihram for Hajj? Yes, indeed. He is required to complete it; he is required to complete the rites of Hajj. This is because one who enters the state of ihram for Hajj, even if it is a voluntary Hajj—the Hajj of a minor is voluntary—yet one who enters the state of ihram for Hajj, even if it is voluntary, is required to complete it. Allah the Exalted said: Therefore, he must complete the rites he left. If all that remains for him is the Tawaf of Ifadah, or the stoning, or staying overnight in Mina during the days of Mina, he completes them by performing the Tawaf. He must perform it; he performs the Tawaf and the Sa'y, even if the time has passed. As for the stoning and staying overnight, he offers a fidyah (ransom payment) for them. However, if he did not stand at 'Arafah—if he did not stand at 'Arafah and left the Hajj before standing at 'Arafah—then he must exit the state of ihram by performing 'Umrah. He exits the state of ihram by performing 'Umrah, and he is required to perform Hajj as a qada' (making up a missed act of worship) for the Hajj he abandoned. When the time for Hajj comes, he now exits the state of ihram by performing 'Umrah: Tawaf, Sa'y, and shortening the hair. He puts on the clothes of ihram again and performs an 'Umrah. Then, when the time for Hajj comes, he enters the state of ihram for Hajj as a qada' for the Hajj he left. Yes. And he owes a fidyah (ransom payment). He owes a fidyah (ransom payment). Yes.
