If a woman is praying and the children start playing around, and one of them might pass in front of her, does that affect her prayer?

Question:
A woman says that she has two children, and when she prays, the children start playing around, and one of them might pass in front of her, and so on, as is known with the movements of children. Does that affect her prayer, or how do you advise her? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
This does not affect her fasting, or rather her prayer, and praise be to Allah. The children came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), al-Hasan and al-Husayn (may Allah be pleased with them both), and they were two small children. They would ride on his back (peace and blessings be upon him) while he was in prostration, and he would lengthen his prostration for their sake out of kindness to them. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would carry Ummamah, the daughter of his daughter Zaynab; he would carry her with him when he stood for prayer and pray while carrying her. All of this indicates that there is nothing wrong with a woman praying, or a man praying, with children around him, or carrying one of them, or them riding on his back. This does not affect the prayer. Yes.
