Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on bringing children under the age of seven, citing the hadith of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) carrying his granddaughter and the story of al-Hasan and al-Husayn?
Answer:
If you can keep them in check, it is permissible to bring them. If you fear for them and there is no one to look after them, their entering the mosque is for a need, but you must keep them in check, and there is nothing wrong with that.
