Hadith 1327
۞
Hadith.2893 - Zurara narrated from one of the Imams (as), who said
"If a man takes his young child for Hajj, he instructs him to recite the Talbiyah and obligates the Hajj upon him. If the child cannot recite the Talbiyah properly, the father recites it on his behalf. The child is carried for Tawaf, and prayers are performed on his behalf."
I asked: "What if they do not have the means to slaughter (an animal) on his behalf?"
Imam (as) said: "An animal is slaughtered for the children, while the adults fast. The same restrictions of Ihram regarding clothing and fragrance apply to the child. However, if the child kills game, the liability falls upon the father."
2893 - رَوَى زُرَارَةُ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ
«إِذَا حَجَّ اَلرَّجُلُ بِابْنِهِ وَ هُوَ صَغِيرٌ، فَإِنَّهُ يَأْمُرُهُ أَنْ يُلَبِّيَ وَ يَفْرِضَ اَلْحَجَّ فَإِنْ لَمْ يُحْسِنْ أَنْ يُلَبِّيَ لَبَّى عَنْهُ وَ يُطَافُ بِهِ وَ يُصَلَّى عَنْهُ » قُلْتُ لَيْسَ لَهُمْ مَا يَذْبَحُونَ عَنْهُ قَالَ «يُذْبَحُ عَنِ اَلصِّغَارِ وَ يَصُومُ اَلْكِبَارُ وَ يُتَّقَى عَلَيْهِمْ مَا يُتَّقَى عَلَى اَلْمُحْرِمِ مِنَ اَلثِّيَابِ وَ اَلطِّيبِ فَإِنْ قَتَلَ صَيْداً فَعَلَى أَبِيهِ ».
