Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : If a small child performed Hajj before reaching puberty, is he obligated to perform Hajj when he reaches puberty?
The Shaykh : Is it?
The questioner : A small child, meaning he performed Hajj.
The Shaykh : Did he perform Hajj before reaching puberty?
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Is he obligated to perform Hajj when he grows up?
The Shaykh : Yes, he says: If a boy performs Hajj before reaching puberty and then reaches puberty, is he obligated to perform Hajj again?
Answer: No, the first Hajj does not suffice for him; he must perform Hajj a second time, because the Hajj he performed initially was performed as a voluntary act, not as an obligatory one, and the Hajj of Islam is an obligatory act, so he must repeat Hajj a second time, and the first one counts as voluntary.
