Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Peace be upon you. We are going, if Allah wills, to perform Hajj, and we have children who are seven and nine years old. So, do they perform Hajj with us, or what do we do?
The Shaykh : Children do not perform Hajj.
The questioner : I mean, they just come with us like that, and they don’t… they don’t count.
The Shaykh : They are just companions; they do not perform Hajj. They go with you as companions, but they do not perform Hajj.
The questioner : The nine-year-old.
The Shaykh : I say they do not perform Hajj; it is not obligatory.
