A child passing in front of the one praying
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: What is the ruling on a child passing in front of the one praying, whether the child is a girl or a boy? Does it break the prayer?
Answer:
A child does not have control, and you cannot prevent a child. You can prevent an older child, but as for a young child, you cannot prevent him, so the matter is easy.
