Ruling on Giving Children Money for Regularly Performing Prayers and Other Acts
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it good and prescribed for someone to give children a sum of money so that they will be regular in performing prayers and saying the glorification and magnification of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He)?
Answer:
There is no blame on that, provided it is not a trick to prefer some of them over others. Rather, it is to encourage them to do good. In most cases, this is a trivial matter that is excused, because this falls under the category of encouraging good and assisting in it. However, if the gifts are significant and some are preferred over others, that is not allowed. But if they are trivial things for the sake of encouragement, there is nothing wrong with it, if Allah wills. Yes.
The presenter : If Allah wills, may Allah reward you with good.
