The ruling on performing Hajj on behalf of a child
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
A boy who was fourteen years old passed away. Should Hajj be performed on his behalf?
Hajj is not performed on his behalf because he was a minor who had not reached puberty, unless he had reached puberty through the growth of pubic hair or through wet dreams. In that case, he would be among those for whom it is obligatory if he was able to perform it. If he did not have wealth, it is not obligatory for him.
