Is it permissible to carry a child during voluntary and obligatory prayers?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: We have previously stated that slight movement in prayer does not affect its validity. He asks: Is it permissible to carry a child during voluntary and obligatory prayers, or is it not?

Answer:
Yes. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to carry Ummamah, the daughter of Abu al-As ibn al-Rabi'. He would carry her with him, lifting her when he stood up and setting her down when he prostrated. Slight movement for a necessary reason is permissible. Yes.
