Ihram for youngsters

Hajj is not compulsory for youngsters, yet it is quite valid if they perform it. If the minor is able to understand the rites of Ihram, he may himself perform the rites of Hajj as adults do. He should do whatever men are obliged to do in Hajj. If the youngster is a girl then she is obliged to do whatever women are obliged to do in Hajj. If the youngster, whether a boy or girl, is too young to understand the rites of Hajj, his/her guardian must declare the state of Ihram and perform the rites of Hajj on his/her behalf. The guardian of a youngster should help him/her to perform Ghusl, declare the state of Ihram, say Talbyah, circumambulate round Ka'bah, run between Safa and Marwah on his/her behalf. He should circumambulate round Ka'bah and run between Safa and Marwah twice, once for himself and the other for the youngster who is too young to perform these rites on his own. As for the youngsters who are of age to perform them on their own under the supervisions of their guardians. If the minor can not throw stones as a result of the crowd, his guardian should throw it on his behalf. As for the rest of the rites of Hajj, e.g. spending the day at Arafah, spending the night at Muzdalifah and spending the night in Mina. The same rule applies to the minors' performance of Umrah.
