The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : So if, Shaykh, the young children, especially in primary schools, if a person wants to explain to them the situations that occur from them in prayer.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : He demonstrates them practically in front of them in prayer.
The Shaykh : There is nothing wrong with it.
The questioner : But it is pleasant to laugh?
The Shaykh : No, no, he does not make it a joke; he says Allahu Akbar, faces the qiblah, and recites al-Fatihah. He does not say, for example, one person is standing and says this, and this is not valid.
The questioner : Sometimes ... so-and-so prays, and the children around him discover it, two or three of them, some of them, some are praying and they laugh at them, then he says now we will point out the mistakes.
The Shaykh : I do not think there is anything wrong as long as the intention is not worship, but rather teaching, so we continue.
