The ruling on fathers taking their young children to the mosques

Question:
The sender, Ahmad Darbashi from Jizan Abi Arish, says in his first question: Honorable Shaykh, some fathers insist on taking their children to the mosques before they reach the age of seven. Therefore, I ask you to give advice through your program to those fathers who insist on this practice.

Answer:
Children who have reached the age of seven and are of sound mind should be ordered to pray and brought to the mosques so that they are raised to pray, and to pray in congregation, so that they grow up accustomed to it. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Order your children to pray at seven." As for one who has not reached the age of discernment, he is not ordered to pray, nor is he brought to the mosque, unless his father fears for him if he leaves him at home. In that case, there is no harm in bringing him to the mosque, but on the condition that he prevents him from harming the worshippers or causing damage to the mosque. Yes.
