          Sanity and Adulthood

           

          Issue 27: The first condition is sanity. Therefore, hajj is not obligatory upon an insane person.
          Issue 28: The second condition is 'maturity'. Hajj is not obligatory for a person before the age of shar‘ī puberty (even in case they are going to be 'mature' in the near future) and if they perform hajj during this period, it will not be sufficient to remove the obligation of ḥajjat ul-Islamand replace it, although it is valid.
          Issue 29: If a boy becomes muḥrim and then becomes religiously mature during/before the wuqūf at Muzdalifah (Mash‘ar ul-Ḥarām) while he is mustaṭī‘, then his hajj replaces ḥajjat ul-Islam.
          Issue 30: If a child commits a prohibited act of iḥrām, his guardian is responsible for paying his kaffārah (in case of hunting) while in other types of kaffārahs neither the guardian is responsible to pay them nor it should be paid from the non-adult child’s property.
          Issue 31: The guardian of non-adult is responsible for paying the cost to slaughter an animal.
          Issue 32: For obligatory hajj, it is not necessary for a woman to seek permission from her husband. Even in state of disagreement of her husband, hajj is obligatory for her.
          Issue 33: For validity of hajjat ul-Islam, it is not obligatory for a qualified person to seek the permission of his parents.
