Question
A study question intended for a rabbi! We find that there are commandments that are in action and some that are in result. {Rabbi Elchanan brings redemption of captives, repayment of debt, be fruitful and multiply} I ask whether it is possible that in commandments by result, a minor below the age of education and from the moment of birth fulfills a commandment by Torah law, even though not obligated in action, if done for him, will he fulfill the commandment, since the reason for exemption is that consciousness is needed for action, and here the main issue is the result. Also, is there an opinion that in circumcision the infant fulfills the commandment? I would appreciate an answer and sources. Thank you very much.
