Leaving the children at home for the congregational prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: My children are in the Fajr prayer and the weather is cold, may Allah guide them. They are fourteen and fifteen years old and do not get up quickly. I am afraid that I will miss the congregational prayer, so I leave them behind, and when I return I wake them up for the prayer. What is the solution?
Answer:
No, this is not permissible. Do not go unless they have woken up. If they go with you, that is better. If they are occupied with purification and preparing for the prayer, you go to the mosque and they will catch up, if Allah wills. But do not leave them on their beds. Yes.
