The child standing to the left of the imam
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Sometimes I lead the prayer in the mosque, and my son, who is four years old, comes with me. He stands to my left while I am the imam. Is this permissible, considering that I do this regularly so that he does not harm the worshippers if he remains in the row?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray while carrying his granddaughter, Ummah bint Abi al-As. When he stood, he would lift her up, and when he prostrated, he would put her down. There is nothing wrong with that.
