Question:
Does the child’s guardian recite the talbiyah on his behalf?
Answer:
For a child under seven, his guardian recites the talbiyah on his behalf.
Q: After the age of seven, do children differ in terms of discernment?
A: He is taught when he reaches seven; this is the stage where he is commanded to pray and worship. He is taught, and if he does not recite the talbiyah, there is no harm, as the talbiyah is a recommended practice. Likewise, he wears the ihram garments.
... he wears them, without putting a shirt or anything else on him.
Q: Abu Hanifah said: His ihram is not valid, and none of the prohibitions of ihram apply to him; he is only made to perform Hajj for the purpose of training. Is this opinion correct?
A: It is of no value. The hadiths of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) are clear.
