Travelling safar distance with one's 11 year old son
Question
Am I allowed to travel for the distance of safr (77 km) with my son who is almost 12 years old (exact age 11 years and 10 months)?
Answer
If some signs of puberty are beginning to appear then you may travel with him.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
