Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A woman enters the mosque and wants to pray the greeting of the mosque, but her young son is crying intensely. So she sits before praying the greeting until he calms down, and then she stands up to perform the greeting of the mosque. Will she be sinful for sitting like that?
Answer:
If she sits, it is not a sitting of settling down, but rather she sits for the purpose of calming the child. So I hope there is no blame on her for that. Yes.
