The ruling on carrying a child during prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner, Umm Salim, says: I was praying on my prayer mat when my daughter came and sat on it. She was carrying impurity, but it did not show on her clothes. When I wanted to prostrate, I picked her up and moved her away from my place of prostration, then I prostrated. Is my prayer valid?
Answer:
Yes. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to carry Ummamah, the daughter of Zaynab, his granddaughter, in his prayer (peace and blessings be upon him). So it is permissible to carry a child during prayer? Yes.
