Advice for those who are lax about bringing children into the mosque

Question:
She says: We see in the Sacred Mosque people who are lax about bringing young children, and some of them may be afflicted with an illness, or with urine, or with ritual impurity. So what is your advice to them, Honorable Shaykh?

Answer:
It is not permissible to bring children into the Sacred Mosque, nor into any other mosque, except with discipline. With discipline, meaning that you control them from mischief and from harming people, and even more so, you control them from ritual impurity, such as urine or feces. As for if her going to the mosques with her children results in harm to the people or harm to the mosque by defiling it, then she stays in her house, prays in her house, and looks after her children, and does not go to the mosque. Yes.
