Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner (Muhammad A. A.) says: O Shaykh! What is the ruling on interrupting the prayer? This is because some of the children in the second row cause a lot of noise, talk, and wait for the imam to bow. Is it permissible for me to turn to them and guide and discipline them for that action?
Answer:
No, a gesture is sufficient. Do not interrupt your prayer; continue. A gesture to them to be quiet is sufficient. Do not interrupt the prayer; continue in your prayer. After the closing salam, you advise and guide them. Do not interrupt the prayer. It is obligatory for you... if you have entered the prayer, complete it. However, there is no harm in gesturing to them with your hand until they become quiet. Yes.
