Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some people say, "My son or daughter is young, and his or her age is more than ten years. What do we say to this?"
Answer:
We say to him what the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Order your children to pray at seven, and beat them for it at ten." If he reaches ten and does not obey the command, then the punishment is applied to him. He is beaten in a way that deters him from being negligent about the prayer. Yes.
