the intention on behalf of an immature child. There is no need to
offer the Nawāfil of Ṭawāf.
Question 23: If a minor reaches puberty after he has entered Mīqāt
without (putting on) Iḥrām, will Dam become Wājib upon him
Answer: No. It is cited on page 1192 (volume 1) of Baĥār-e-Sharī’at:
If a minor reaches puberty after he has passed Mīqāt and put on
Iḥrām, no Dam is necessary. Similarly, if he reaches puberty at Ḥil
i.e. outside the Ḥaram but within the limits of Mīqāt, the rulings of
Ḥillī will be applied. It means that if he wants to go for Hajj or
‘Umraĥ, he should put on Iḥrām at Ḥil, or if he does not want to go
for Hajj or ‘Umraĥ, the rulings of Ḥaramī will be applied. In short,
he will put on Iḥrām for Hajj within the Ḥaram, as for ‘Umraĥ he
will put on Iḥrām outside the Ḥaram. If he doesn’t want to perform
either, there is no need to put on Iḥrām.
Question 24: Can a child be taken to Masjid-un-Nabawī or not
Answer: The Beloved Prophet ٖ
has said, ‘Save the
Masājid from children and the insane and trading and quarrels and
raising voice and inflicting punishment and unsheathing swords.’
(Ibn Mājaĥ, vol. 1, pp. 415, Ḥadīš, 750)
If it is highly probable that a child or an insane person if taken into
the Masjid would defecate or urinate in the Masjid then it is Ḥarām
otherwise Makrūĥ. People who take the shoes into the Masjid should
make sure that if the shoes are stained with uncleanness, it should
be cleaned off insomuch that there remains neither uncleanness nor
foul smell. However, if you have cleaned shoe in such a way that
neither there is the risk of the Masjid being unclean nor is there any
foul smell then it is not impermissible. Remember that walking into
the Masjid with shoes on is the disrespect of the Masjid even if the
shoes are clean.
