Preventing children from playing at the beginning of the night

The first question of Fatwa No. ( 21349 )
Q 1: In the authentic hadith narrated by al-Bukhari :
When night falls (or it is evening), keep your children close to youإذا كان جنح الليل أو أمسيتم فكفوا صبيانكم ..
Sahih al-Bukhari 3304
Then it continues:
And extinguish your lampsوأطفئوا مصابيحكم
Is this command obligatory? And if it is recommended, what is the indicator that shifts it from being obligatory?

A 1 : These commands mentioned in the hadith are understood as recommended and advisory by most scholars, as stated by a group of scholars, including: Ibn Muflih in (al-Furu') (1 \ 132) and al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar in (Fath al-Bari) (11 \ 87). And Allah knows best. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
