Ruling on taking a discerning child to the mosque for prayer during cold weather
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q165: The questioner says: I have a son who is seven years old, and I take him with me to the mosque. My question is as follows: The cold is approaching, and it may be difficult for him to go out with me for the Fajr prayer, as well as waking him up. Is it permissible for him to delay the prayer or pray it at home?
A165: He must be ordered to pray; based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Sunan ad-Daraqutni 3:5 He must be ordered to pray. As for the cold, you can buy him warm clothes, and the cold will not harm him, if Allah wills.
A165: He must be ordered to pray; based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
Order your children to pray at seven, and beat them for it at ten
مروا أبناءكم بالصلاة لسبع، واضربوهم عليها لعشر
