about a boy learning the prayer?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : He is delayed in understanding the prayer.
The Shaykh : In what?
The questioner : In understanding the prayer.
The Shaykh : No, no, he is not delayed, if Allah wills. There is no one smarter than a boy. For this reason, it is wise for a person to pray the voluntary prayers in his house so that the boys see him. We see our boys coming to imitate us when we pray the voluntary prayers in the house, but sometimes they prostrate with the qiblah behind their backs!
The student : Hmm.
The Shaykh : Otherwise, he will always imitate you exactly. This is part of the wisdom of the Shari'ah that a person prays the voluntary prayers in his house so that the house does not become a graveyard where no prayer is performed, and so that the boys learn, and so that the women also follow the example.
