Question: What is your advice to those who bring their
children to the Masjid on the day of Jumu’ah. These children destract those who
pray by talking aloud and playing around whilst the Imaam is delivering the
Khateeb.
Answer:
Children under the age of seven must stay with their
mothers so that they don’t destract the people. It is incumbent that they stay
with their families so that they don’t harm people. If the child has reached
the age of seven years old, or above, then he must pray with the people because
the Prophet [Peace and Blessings of Allaah be Upon him] ordered children to
pray and ordered their guardians to obligate them to pray at the age of seven
years old, “Command your children to pray as-Salaah at the age of seven years
old and hit them at the age of ten years old (if they don’t pray).” So it is
upon their fathers and their elder brothers (i.e. gaurdians) to bring them to
prayers and to teach them and if they destract or harm others, then they must
be prevented until they come can come to the Masjid in the correct fashion, so
that they pray without harming others.
