Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A man traveled with his family to Makkah, and they entered the state of ihram. With them was their son, who was ten years old. He became ill, but he fell asleep during the sa'y (walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah) and did not wake up until his family had left the sacred precinct. They did not shorten his hair for him, and he did not perform the sa'y with them. Then they returned to Riyadh, and two months have passed since then. What is the ruling?
Answer:
The child is still in the state of ihram. They put the ihram clothes back on him, and he is considered to be in a continuous state of ihram. He goes and performs the sa'y and shortens his hair in Makkah, and completes his 'Umrah. Yes.
