Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : O Shaykh (may Allah preserve him), a boy passed away at the age of fourteen. Is it permissible to perform Hajj on his behalf?
The Shaykh : It is not permissible to perform Hajj 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, provided he is able to do so. If he has no wealth, it is not obligatory for him. Yes.
