Question:
Regarding - the questioner says - the prayer of children under the age of ten: Do the parents sin if they do not commit to this prayer?
Answer:
They should only command them to pray, and there is no sin on them. Once they reach ten years of age, it becomes obligatory to command them and discipline them until they pray. As for those under ten, from the age of seven up to ten, the prescribed action is only to command them. When a child reaches seven, he is commanded but not beaten. When he reaches ten or older, he is beaten for it. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah preserve you.
