Riyad as-Salihin 1282 (Book 10, Hadith 12) #37771
Children and the Hajj Pilgrimage

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) was asked if a child can be credited with having performed the Hajj (pilgrimage) and he replied that they would have a reward.

Ibn 'Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: The Prophet came across a caravan at Ar-Rauha' and asked who the people in the caravan were. They replied that they were Muslims. They asked: "Who are you?" He said, "I am the Messenger of Allah". Then a woman lifted up a boy to him and asked: "Would this child be credited with having performed the Hajj (pilgrimage)?" Whereupon he said, "Yes, and you will have a reward". Muslim.
