The ruling on keeping children away from the front rows
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: If the imam does not have those of sound judgment and maturity, and the distinguished young boys are behind him, are they to be kept away, even though they may cause harm to the mosque?
The Shaykh:
They are not to be kept away, but they should be separated so that they are not standing in a continuous line. Older people should come and stand among them, separating them. Yes.
The questioner:
She asks: What is your opinion regarding the rows?
The Shaykh:
The elderly came early and did not place the children in the place of honor. This only happened because of the negligence of the older people.
