Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This sister, the questioner, says: “O honorable Shaykh, from her questions: We performed the lesser pilgrimage in Ramadan last year with my husband and the children, and they were young, the oldest being four years old. We entered the state of ihram, and he entered ihram and responded to the call when his father taught him. However, the weather was very hot, so we delayed the circumambulation until after the sunset prayer. I took off the boy’s ihram garments and dressed him in clothes, then we all performed the circumambulation and the walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah. I ask your eminence to clarify the ruling in this matter. Are we required to make up the lesser pilgrimage for that child? Or what should we do? May Allah reward you.”
Answer:
If you did this out of ignorance, then there is nothing on you, and praise be to Allah. If it was due to ignorance or forgetfulness, there is nothing on you. But if you did it intentionally and you knew the ruling of the Shari'ah, you must feed six poor people, each poor person receiving half a sa' (a dry measure of about 3 kg) for dressing him in sewn clothing while he was in the state of ihram. Since you knew the ruling of the Shari'ah, you must feed six poor people, each poor person receiving half a sa' of the staple food of the country, whether dates, rice, or wheat. And praise be to Allah. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you and bless you, may the Shaykh be respected.
