Is it obligatory to wake a sleeping child if he misses the prayer?

Question:
The boy's mother came after the 'Isha' prayer, and he had already fallen asleep. Should she wake him? He is seven years old, meaning: he has not reached ten?

Q: Is he ordered to pray in congregation?
A: It appears that, so that he may practice it, he is ordered to pray in congregation.
Q: If the seven-year-old boy misses it?
A: There is no making up of the prayer. It appears that he owes no making up. And if he is ordered to make it up so that he may practice, that is good, fine. It may be said that the command covers him, but the apparent meaning of the hadith is that he is ordered at their times, meaning.
Q: Is he struck for the congregation or for the performance—seven years old?
A: No, he is struck for it when he reaches ten.
Q: Is he struck for the performance?
A: That is the apparent ruling, the performance in congregation so that he may practice.
