*RULING REGARDING CHILDREN AND ELDERS IN JAM'AAT PRAYERS*

⭕Today's Question no. 1083⭕

What is the ruling regarding children praying alongside elders in jam'aat? What age kids can pray alongside elders?
If a child stand along with  an adult Imam, is it permitted to pray behind him?

🔵Answer🔵

If there are one or two kids, no matter what the age, if they are aware of wudu and salah and if there is possibility of thef doing mischief if made to stand alone, and this will got disturbance among the elders prayers, (in case of eid prayers,  Haram, there is possibility of children getting lost), it is permissible to allow the kids to pray alongside elders. There is nothing wrong in praying behind elder Imam if the child prays next to him.

If there are large no. of kids, it is better to make a separate saff of them.
