The answer

The Maliki school of thought holds that a child is not obligated to offer a sacrifice (). It is permissible for the guardian to offer it on his behalf from the guardian's own money, not from the child's money. This is because the udhiyah is a voluntary act of charity, and the guardian is prohibited from making voluntary donations from the money of his ward. Furthermore, a child is not considered competent to make purchases.
