BAYAN LI AL-HAJ #SIRI 6 : HUKUM KANAK-KANAK YANG BELUM MUMAYYIZ MENGUMPUL ANAK BATU UNTUK DIRINYA SENDIRI
May a child who has not reached mumayyiz age pick up pebbles for himself, or must the guardian do it for him?

A child who is not yet mumayyiz is permitted to pick up small stones and throw them using his own strength, without help from others.

Summary
A child who is not yet mumayyiz is permitted to pick up small stones and throw them using his own strength, without help from others. However, the crowded conditions at the stoning site during the Hajj season are dangerous and make it impractical for the child to complete it. It is therefore best for the guardian to collect the stones and give them to the child to throw, or for the guardian to perform the stoning on the child's behalf.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
dibolehkan bagi kanak-kanak yang belum mumayyiz untuk mengutip batu-batu kecil dan melontarnya dengan kudratnya sendiri (tanpa bantuan orang lain).
