When a child assumes , the circumstances of the time should be considered. If there is severe crowding and the matter is difficult, it is better not to let the child assume ihram. If ihram has been assumed and it becomes difficult for the guardian or the child to complete the rituals, the most preponderant opinion—which is the of Abu Hanifa—is that it is permissible for him to exit ihram, and he is not obligated to complete the rituals, because he is not held accountable. This opinion is more lenient for people and resolves the problem of misjudging hardship.
