If a boy has money from gifts or inheritance from his mother, for example, is it permissible for the father to send the boy to perform Hajj using this money?
Answer
In the name of Allah, it is not permissible unless there is a benefit for the child related to his religious upbringing, if the child's safety depends on traveling with him, or if the travel is in his interest. Allah knows best.
