925. As-Sā'ib bin Yazīd narrated: "My father took me for Hajj with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ during the Farewell Hajj, and I was seven years old." (Ṣaḥīḥ)
Abū 'Eisā said: This Hadīth is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ.
The people of knowledge agreed that when a young boy performs Hajj before the age of maturity, then he is required to perform Hajj when he attains the age of maturity. That Hajj will not be accepted from him as the Hajj of Islām. The same is the case of the slave who performs Hajj while he is owned, then he is freed. He is required to perform Hajj when he has the means for it, and the Hajj that he performed while he was in a state of being owned is not acceptable. This is the view of Sufyān Ath-Thawrī, Ash-Shāfi'ī, Ahmad, and Ishāq.

Commentary
All the A'immah and scholars agree the Hajj is not obligatory for a minor, but if it is performed by a minor it is approved and correct.
