A child: stoning on his behalf

Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) said: We performed Hajj with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and we had women and children with us. So we pronounced the talbiyah on behalf of the children and stoned on their behalf.

Ayyub said: I saw a child of Abd al-Rahman bin al-Qasim, and I said: What do you do with him? They said: We place the pebbles on his palm, and if he is unable, the stoning is done on his behalf.

Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) performed Hajj with children; whoever of them was able to stone did the stoning himself, and whoever was not able to stone, the stoning was done on his behalf.

Ata was asked: Should the stoning be done on behalf of children? He said: Yes.

Ata said concerning a child who enters ihram: His father or his guardian should pronounce the talbiyah on his behalf.
