Parenting Fiqh: How to form Rows for Children Whilst Praying Behind the Imaam


Question: If there are small children, between the age of seven and ten years old for example, how do we form their rows? May Allaah Reward you with good.

Answer: The stand in a rows behind the Imaam. If the first row has been completed they then form a second row and completing it, regardless of their age, being seven or above. Young girls should form their rows behind the boys and they should carry making rows in succession as well. Therefore, the children are behind the Imaam ,then the girls row behind the boys, then the girls behind them and the final row is for the women.

However, men should be brought before children but if he comes and finds the rows full, then there is no harm in this (then he should pray with the boys), and if there is no space then he should pray in the rows with the girls, who are standing behind the boys, eve if he mixing with the girls and there is no harm in this. However, he must pray behind the boys only if the rows are full. And then the final row are for the women, even if they are adults they must pray behind the children.
