The Ruling on Carrying Children in Prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The professor asks: What is the ruling on carrying a young girl during prayer, when the girl is wearing diapers or is soiled, and one does not know if she is ritually impure or not?

Answer:
There is nothing wrong with what you described. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) carried children while he was praying. He carried
Ummamah, his daughter, while he was praying; when he stood, he lifted her up, and when he prostrated, he put her down,أمامة بنته وهو يصلي، إذا قام رفعها، وإذا سجد وضعها،
So there is no harm in carrying a child, even if the child is not in a state of ritual purity, or if there is a fear that he is carrying ritual impurity, provided that he is wrapped and kept safe. There is no harm in that. Yes.
