    Question: I am planning to go for Hajj this year and I have a five months old baby. Would it be risky to go for hajj with such a small baby or should I stay back?

    Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

    (Fatwa: 1758/1415/B=1432) It shall be very difficult for you to carry so small child along with you in hajj. However if you can bear it then it is alright. You can carry her, it depends upon your courage and will. Your hajj shall be valid. You should have thought about it before filling up the form. Rather get your daughter also perform hajj and ask the rulings from local Ulama.
