Yes, if they can benefit they should
attend but if the children won’t benefit then they shouldn’t. There was once
another person who went to Masjid al-Haram for Salaat al-Jumu’ah with his
child; and the child detracted the people from hearing the Khutbah as
he was crying loudly. By the end of the Salaah, the father missed the Salaah
because he was sitting attending to the boy. The people prayed, he missed the Salaah
in congregation and he had to pray by himself. How can the father exempt
himself from the Salaah because of a child, the child has a mother and
the family has its own accommodation. Unfortunately, people just blindly follow
each other.
To Allaah we complain.
