The student: When a boy reaches ten years of age, is he obligated to pray? Does he become sinful?
The Shaykh : No, no, he is not obligated.
The student: And is he commanded to pray?
The Shaykh : Yes, he is to be struck for it at ten, but this is by way of discipline to accustom him to obedience. Otherwise, if he leaves it, he does not commit a sin.
