Question:
We return to the questions of the program. This questioner says: Is the prayer of an adult behind a boy valid?
Answer:
The prayer of adults behind a boy is valid according to the correct opinion, because 'Umar or 'Amr ibn Salim used to lead his companions in prayer while he was young, and this was during the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Since he was the one among them who had memorized the most of the Qur'an, he would lead them in prayer while he was a small child who had not yet reached puberty. Yes.
