If a child falls asleep during tawaf, is it valid for him?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : If the child starts, and the child is carried, and then he circles with him for one lap, and then the child falls asleep during the tawaf, is it sufficient?
The Shaykh : And what do you say?
The questioner : The state of children is that they cry out.
The Shaykh : This is a reality; first, he cries out, but the matter of crying out is excused because Allah has permitted speech in it. However, if he or the one carrying him falls asleep, because some people carry children during the tawaf and also during the sa'y, and in the Arab regions they fall asleep, we say: if he intended from the first lap, there is no harm, even if he sleeps for the entire sa'y, yes, because he is performing the sa'y with him.
