Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. He says: I am a Qur'an teacher after the 'Asr prayer, and we have boys, meaning those below the age of discernment. He asks: Am I allowed to require them to perform wudu' to touch the mushaf and to recite the Qur'an?
Answer:
Teach them and raise them to this. If they fall short or make a mistake, they are not held accountable, and you have done what is required. Be diligent, and if there is any negligence, these are young children who cannot be controlled. Do not let them handle the mushafs except through a barrier, if that is possible. Yes.
