Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is the young child ordered to perform the prayer in the mosque or at home, considering that he may annoy the worshippers in the mosque due to his young age?
Answer:
The child who can distinguish right from wrong is ordered to pray in the mosque; he is ordered to pray in the mosque, or in the mosque, in order to become accustomed to the congregational prayer and attending the mosque. He is not to be beaten for distracting the congregation, nor is the worshipper to be struck, as long as he is a child who can distinguish right from wrong; the worshipper is not to be struck. If his prayer and ritual purity are valid, then [it is so] with the worshipper.
