The ruling on bringing children to the Tarawih prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
There is some noise from the brother Hadi with his mobile phone. Honorable Shaykh, some women bring their young children to the Tarawih prayer, and these children keep the women occupied from the prayer and cause some movements that disturb the one praying?
Answer:
It is not permissible for her to do that. If she has children who cannot be kept in order, she should pray in her home and keep her children in order, and she is rewarded for that, praise be to Allah. A woman’s prayer in her home, whatever it is, is better than her prayer in the mosque, as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Abi Dawud 566 So she should pray in her home, praise be to Allah, and keep her children in order. Yes.

Do not prevent the female servant your women from visiting the mosques of Allah.
لا تمنعوا إماء الله مساجد الله وبيوتهن خير لهن.
