Conditions for the Validity of Hajj: Islam, Maturity, and Sanity
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Are these conditions and obligations the same for all types of pilgrimage?
Answer:
Yes. Islam is a condition for all acts. Islam and maturity are conditions for all acts of worship. Sanity is a condition for the validity of all acts of worship in terms of their obligation. As for the reward, it is valid for a child to perform voluntary acts; it is valid for a child to perform Hajj, to perform 'Umrah, and to pray once he reaches the age of discernment, and this counts as a voluntary act for him. Islam, maturity, and sanity: the insane and the delirious person’s acts are not valid because he has no intention, and actions are by intentions, and one who lacks sanity has no intention. As for the sane person, even if he is of discernment, an intention can be attributed to him. In fact, even if he is below the age of discernment, his guardian performs Hajj and 'Umrah for him, and his guardian takes charge of keeping him away from the prohibited things and performs the acts of Hajj and 'Umrah for him. Yes.
