Question
Is there a reason to say Kaddish for a child who passed away under the age of 20, since heavenly judgment is not passed on those under twenty?
Answer
Kaddish should be recited, as from the age of Bar Mitzvah, heavenly laws apply to a person. Moreover, Kaddish is recited even for a minor who has not sinned at all.
