Permission for elementary school students to perform wudu' during Qur'an classes
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A teacher asks and says: Some of our elementary school students, in every one of the Qur'an classes, say, “I want to go perform wudu'.” They do not observe wudu' before the class. Should they be prevented from doing so, even though they are fifth-grade elementary students?
Answer:
If he is reading from the mushaf, yes, he may be prevented from doing so, unless it is known that he is playing around, that he is not sincere, that he goes to perform wudu' and then goes to play. In that case, he is prevented. But if it is not known that he is a liar or a deceiver, then the opportunity is given to him. Perhaps some people need to perform wudu' every hour and at all times, meaning they have urinary incontinence or they have an illness. Yes.
