A woman prevents her discerning sons from praying in the mosque out of fear for them
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I have sons who are twelve years old, nine years old, and seven years old. This mother is afraid for them. They pray at home, and she does not order them to go with their older brothers or with their father. She says: I am afraid for them. What is the Shaykh's opinion on this?
Answer:
She has erred in this, and it is not permissible for her to do so. As long as they have older brothers or a father who take them to the mosque, and they have reached the age of discernment, she must not prevent them from this. If she prevents them, she has erred in this. Yes.
