The ruling on the prayer of a boy under seven in the mosque

Question:
What is the ruling on children under the age of seven praying in the front rows, where they crowd the worshippers? This constantly causes gaps in the rows and leads them to make some movements during the prayer. May Allah reward you with good?

Answer:
Children who are under seven do not have a prayer obligation, nor are they commanded to pray. It is prescribed for their fathers to keep them at home so that they do not disturb the worshippers; this is what is prescribed. However, if one of them is found among the rows, it does not harm the row, and those around him should guide him to be quiet so that he does not harm anyone and is not harmed himself. As for their fathers, it is prescribed for them to keep them at home and not bring them to the mosques so that they do not disturb the people or break the rows. When one of them is found in the row and there is a need for him to remain, it does not harm the row; he is like a chair or a pillar or something similar, if there is a need for his presence in the row. Yes.
