A child, a slave or a Bedouin performing Hajj

Al-Hasan said: If a child performs Hajj, a slave performs Hajj and a Bedouin performs Hajj, and then the Bedouin emigrates, the child reaches puberty and the slave is freed, then they must perform Hajj again.

Ibrahim said: If a slave performs Hajj several times and is then freed, he must perform Hajj again.

Ata said: The child and the slave must perform Hajj again, while the Bedouin's Hajj suffices him, because Hajj is prescribed upon him wherever he may be.

It is narrated from Muhammad bin Ka'b al-Qurazi that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I wish to renew (this ruling) in the hearts of the believers: any child whose family took him on Hajj and who then died, that Hajj will suffice for him; and if he grows up (reaches maturity), he must perform Hajj. And any slave who performed Hajj with his household and then died, the Hajj will suffice for him; and if he is freed, he must perform Hajj."

It is narrated from Kurayb that a woman stood before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) with her child and said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), does this one have a Hajj?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes, and you will have a reward."

Ata said: A Bedouin's Hajj will suffice him.

Al-Qasim bin Abd al-Rahman said: It used to be said: Take the children with you on Hajj; if they die in childhood, they will have already performed Hajj, and if they live, they will perform Hajj again.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he said: Remember this from me, and do not say, 'Ibn Abbas said': Any slave who performs Hajj with his family and is then freed must perform Hajj again; any child who performs Hajj with his family and then grows up (and becomes able) must perform Hajj; and any Bedouin who performs Hajj before emigrating and then emigrates must perform the Hajj of an emigrant.

Ibn Sirin said: They used to hold that if a woman performs Hajj while there is a child in her womb, the Hajj also counts for the child.

Mujahid said: If a Bedouin performs Hajj, it will suffice him as the Hajj of Islam.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he (peace and blessings be upon him) met some riders at al-Rawha' and asked: "Who are these people?" They said: "Muslims." Then they asked: "Who are you?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)." A woman lifted up her child and asked: "Does this one have a Hajj?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes, and you will have a reward."

Tawus said: A child's Hajj will suffice for him until he grows up.
