If the boys reach the first row first, do they have the right to it?

Q: Some of the boys arrive early on Friday, and people older than them come and move them, taking their places, citing the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): Is this permissible?

A: Some scholars say this and hold that it is better for the boys to line up behind the men, but there is a problem with this view. The more correct view is that if they arrive first, it is not permissible to move them back. So if they reach the first row or the second row, those who come after them should not move them; because they arrived first to a right that no one else had reached, so it is not permissible to delay them, due to the generality of the hadiths on this matter. Moving them back would discourage them from prayer and from rushing to it, and that is not appropriate.
However, if the people gather together, such as when they arrive together on a journey or for a reason, then the men line up first, then the boys, then the women after them, if that happens and they are gathered together. But taking them from the rows and removing them so that the older men who came after them can take their places is not permissible, for the reasons we mentioned.
As for his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): . The meaning of this is to encourage those of sound mind and discretion to rush to prayer and to be at the front of the people, and it does not mean moving back those who arrived before them for their sake; because that contradicts the scriptural evidence we mentioned.
