Bringing a child under the age of seven to the mosque
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And this person asks: What is the ruling on bringing a child to the mosque if he is under the age of seven?
Answer:
There is no benefit in bringing him unless you are afraid for him. If you are afraid for him if you leave him, you may bring him with you, but you must ensure that he does not cause any harm to the mosque or to the worshippers. You must commit to this and watch over the child so that he does not cause harm to the mosque through dirt or ritual impurity, or to the worshippers through noise or anything that disturbs them. So if you are afraid for him and you can control him when you bring him, there is no harm in that. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good,
