The Time When a Child Is Commanded to Pray

Question:
The other question is from Abu 'Umar. He asks: Is a child commanded to pray after completing the age of six and entering the seventh year, or after completing the seventh year and entering the eighth?

Answer:
Yes, and to complete the answer before this, this is if it is in al-Fatihah. As for mispronunciation in other than al-Fatihah, it does not prevent you from following him, even if the mispronunciation changes the meaning, as long as it is in other than al-Fatihah. And as for the child, when he reaches, when he reaches seven years of age, the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) when he enters his seventh year, at that time he is commanded to pray. Yes.
