Carrying a child in prayer while the child is wearing a diaper
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: If a man carries a child in his prayer, and this child is wearing, may Allah reward you, a diaper that contains impurity, does his prayer become invalid?
Answer:
If the impurity spreads to him, it invalidates the prayer, because his garment has become impure and his body has become impure. However, if the impurity does not spread to the one carrying him, there is no harm in that. If there is a barrier on the child that prevents the urine from leaking, that prevents the impurity, then there is no harm in carrying him while he is praying. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) used to carry Ummamah, the daughter of his daughter, while he was praying. Yes.
