Question:
(peace and blessings be upon him) Your Eminence, the father. The questioner asks: Is it obligatory to order a child to perform wudu' when reciting the Qur'an, or is it merely recommended?
Answer:
The child who has reached the age of seven and is of sound mind must not be allowed to touch it unless he has performed wudu', just as he does not pray without wudu', so that he is raised to this practice.
