The Prayer of an Adult Behind a Boy

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Is the prayer of an adult behind a boy valid?

Answer:
There is nothing wrong with it. Some of the Companions prayed behind a boy because he was the best of them at reciting the Qur'an and the most skilled, so they placed him in front and he led them in prayer during the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).

The presenter:
May Allah bless you.
