Performing Hajj at an Early Age

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) met a group of Muslims and was asked if a young boy could perform Hajj. He replied that the boy could and that the woman would receive a reward for it.

Ibn 'Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: Messenger of Allah came across a party of mounted men at Ar-Rauha and asked them, "Who are you?" They answered: "We are Muslims, and who are you?" He said, "I am the Messenger of Allah". A woman from among them lifted a boy up to him and asked: "Can this one go on Hajj?" He said, "Yes, and you will have the reward". Muslim.
