A boy of seven years old leading the voluntary prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Our sister is asking about the case of this man, and you answered, may Allah reward you with good, like the astrologer, but she has a question. She says: I have a son who is seven years old, and he always likes to play with me. He acts as the imam, and I fulfill his wish in the sunnah prayers, such as the sunnah of Maghrib and the sunnah of 'Isha', for example. Is this action valid?
Answer:
Yes, leading the voluntary prayer is permissible. And the prayer of one who has reached seven years of age is valid. So his leading is valid if he has reached seven years of age, for his leading is valid. By his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): "Order your children to pray."Sunan ad-Daraqutni 3:5 Did you pray with him the rawatib of some of the obligatory prayers? Sometimes? No, no, but he does it consistently. But he does it sometimes. And this training question is also about the prayer.
The presenter:
