Taking children under the age of seven to lectures in the mosques
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: In some mosques, lectures and lessons are held, and some of the attendees, both men and women, bring their children with them, and the children are under the age of seven. Does their doing this contradict the Sunnah?
Answer:
If they keep their children in check, it does not contradict it. If they keep them in check and they do not cause harm and no harm comes from them, it does not contradict it. Al-Hasan and al-Husayn used to come to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) while he was praying, and they would climb onto his back while he was prostrating (peace and blessings be upon him). He used to carry Ummamah, the daughter of his daughter, in the prayer and place her down in the prayer. There is no harm if they keep them in check, there is no harm. Yes.
