The questioner:
The questioner asks: Is it permissible for a young child to lead people in prayer?
The Shaykh:
No, there is no way for you to do so. 'Umar ibn al-Salman prayed for his people during the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) when he was about seven years old.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you. The questioner says.
The Shaykh:
If no one better than them is found. Professor.
