Does it matter if a child wants to lead his mother in prayer, and she grants his wish in the voluntary prayers? Is this action valid?

Question:
I have a son who is seven years old. He always wants to pray with me and be the imam. I grant his wish in the voluntary prayers, such as the voluntary prayer after Maghrib and the voluntary prayer after 'Isha'. Is this action valid?

Answer:
Yes, because leading in voluntary prayer is permissible. The prayer of a child who has reached the age of seven is valid, so his leading is valid if he has reached the age of seven. His leading is valid based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) . It is fine if he leads you in the regular voluntary prayers occasionally. However, if he makes it a habit, that is not permissible. But he can do it occasionally, and this will also serve as a gradual training for the child in prayer. Yes.
