The ruling on taking children to the tarawih prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Many women take some of their children to the mosques for the tarawih prayer. Perhaps you have a word on that?

Answer:
Taking children, if it causes disturbance to the worshippers and they engage in mischief and make noise in the mosque, is not permissible. So this woman should pray in her home if she must go out with her children and they are playing and making mischief; she should pray in her home whatever she is able to do. She can pray the tarawih in her home. She has the reward for that, and in fact, her prayer in her home is better. However, she is permitted to go out to the mosque where there is no harm or annoyance. Yes.
