Parenting Fiqh: Protecting the Masjid from Impurities of Children

Question: We were in the Masjid al-Haram for the purpose of doing ‘Umrah. Because of difficulties in finding a place that night, we  stayed in the Masjid al-Haram for that night alone, and we had with a small child, her age was not above three and a half years old. She fell a sleep and we soon realised that she had urinated on the carpet because it became damp and we were also unable to wash the urine off because many people were sleeping around us. I forgot to wash the urine off after we left, so what must I do? Please benefit us.

Answer: It is obligatory upon you to repent because of what happened and not to repeat this act again. If you must stay in the Masjid al-Haram or the Masjid an-Nabawee or any other Masjid, and you have a child with you, then you must look after her so that her urine or faeces doesn’t impurify the Masjid. And if it does happen then you must be certain in cleaning it up or to notify someone who can do it for you, so that the Masjid remains pure from such impurities. And it is not permissible for someone to be easy going in such matterss, may Allaah Pardon us and you and all the Muslims.
