A man saying to his son while he is praying, "Shh," does this invalidate his prayer?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The second question of Fatwa No. ( 19853 )
Q 2: Bringing children to the mosque A man said to his son while he was praying: "Shh." Did his prayer become invalid? And bringing girls to the mosque who are over 6 years old Is this permissible? Please inform us, may Allah reward you with good?
A 2 : First : If a man says to his son, while silencing him during the prayer, "Shh" or "Shh," intentionally doing so, then his prayer is invalid. However, if he said it out of forgetfulness or ignorance of the legal ruling, his prayer is valid. Second : It is not recommended to bring very young girls who are under seven years old to the mosque, because it causes disturbance to the people and accustoms them to removing the veil of modesty from men. However, if the girl has reached the age of seven or older, it is forbidden to bring her to the rows of men and pray with them in the row.
And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
