The ruling on removing young children from the front row
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some young boys may advance close to the imam, and some of the elderly may come and remove them, and this may affect them.
Answer:
This is not permissible if they have preceded others to the proximity of the imam, for they are more deserving, and they should not be removed as long as they are of discerning age, for their prayer is valid. So do not remove them. This is something they have preceded others to. If one is keen to be close to the imam, let him be early, and let the boys not be more keen or earlier than him. Yes.
