Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for one of the worshippers to leave the prayer in the mosque in order to silence children who are disturbing the worshippers and distracting them from their humility, and then return without speaking? Is this case analogous to the hadith about killing a snake?
Answer:
These are not snakes; the children are not snakes, and one does not leave the prayer to go to them. Yes.
