Ruling on carrying a child in prayer who is wearing a diaper containing impurity
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Our sister says: Sometimes I carry my daughter during prayer because she cries very loudly, and she is wearing a diaper in which she has relieved herself. What is the ruling on my prayer and carrying her during prayer in the state I described? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer: If there is harm in it, do not carry her. If there is harm in it... if there is harm in it, do not carry her. But if she is clean, there is nothing wrong with it. It is established that he (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed while carrying Ummamah, the daughter of Zaynab, the daughter of his daughter. He would pray with her, and the people would look at her. When he prostrated, he would put her down, and when he stood up, he would carry her. The scholars understood this to mean that she was clean and pure.
So the most cautious course for you is not to do this unless you know that she is pure. This is the most cautious course, and do not carry her while there is impurity on her. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good. What is the ruling on the prayer she performed in the state she described?
The Shaykh: We hope that she does not need to repeat it, if Allah wills. We hope that she does not need to repeat it, but in the future she should be cautious.
The presenter: May Allah bless you, may He reward you, and may He reward you with the best reward.
