A reader asks about the permissibility of parents performing the Qurban (animal sacrifice) on behalf of their pre-pubescent children. The article quotes the Quran (Surah al-Kauthar, 2) emphasizing sacrifice as an act of worship and gratitude. It then mentions that one of the requirements for performing Qurban is being of age and sound mind, implying children who haven't reached puberty may not be eligible to perform the ritual themselves.
