The Ruling on a Boy Leading the Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We move on to this message sent by a listener, Sad 'Ayn Ba from Sharurah, who says: I entered the mosque and found some boys praying, and a boy was also leading them. May I join them, or should I stand aside and pray alone in another congregation?
Answer:
If the imam is of discernment, then his prayer is valid, and it is valid for him to be an imam if he has reached the age of discernment. This is the correct and stronger opinion in this issue.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
