The effect of carrying young children during prayer on khushu' (humility)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Carrying some young children during prayer does not cause a decrease in khushu' (humility), and it may disturb those around him. What is the advice in this matter?
Answer:
Meaning, are you more humble in your prayer than the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)? This does not cause that. This did not cause the Messenger to carry a girl while he was praying, and he was the most complete of creation in humility in his prayer (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
