I have a son who is nine years old, and I take him with me to attend the scholarly lessons, but he dislikes it. What is your advice to me?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: I have a son who is nine years old, and I take him with me to attend the scholarly lessons, but he dislikes it. I do this because I want him to learn what will benefit him, since staying at home is a waste of time. What is your advice to me in this situation?

Answer:
This is a good thing. We advise you to continue with it and to take him with you, even if he does not want to. He wants to play, and he wants to play with the children and his peers. You take him and accustom him to attending the lessons. Sitting in the mosque is part of his upbringing; it is for his benefit, and he will find benefit in it. When he grows up, he will find benefit in it. Yes.
