The Ruling on Bringing Young Children to the Mosque

The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for fathers to bring their sons to the mosque, when the child is four, five, or six years old?

The Shaykh:
Yes.

The questioner:
Hmm.

The Shaykh:
If he is at an age where his prayer is valid.

The questioner:
This man says:

The Shaykh:
Unless there is a fear for him, in which case there is no harm in leaving him at home so that he may be left at home.

The questioner:
You are safe from harm regarding him.

The Shaykh:
As for if he does not know.

The questioner:
Yes.

The Shaykh:
And unfortunately, he is left at home, so he is not brought to the mosque.

The questioner:
Yes.
