Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: What is the ruling on an adult man praying between two young boys? Is it considered like the prayer of a single person behind the row?
Answer:
He prayed behind the row, and the two children—if they are of the age of discernment, there is no harm; it is permissible to form a row with a child of discernment. But if they are not of the age of discernment, then no; they are not counted, so he is a single person behind the row. Yes.
