Question
Can a boy who is about to become Bar Mitzvah be given Maftir on Shabbat HaGadol before his Bar Mitzvah?
Answer
Shalom and blessings! In the Mishnah Berurah, it is not mentioned that a minor cannot be called up for Maftir on Shabbat HaGadol, but the custom is not to call up a minor before Bar Mitzvah even on Shabbat HaGadol.
