Doing Qurbaani for one's child

· 26 Shawwal 1438 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I want to know that I am going for hajj by my self. Back home I got four members of my family, including my son who is 13. Do I need to do qurbani for him?

Answer

If the son has got enough of his personal wealth and he is of age then qurbani is compulsory.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
