What is the ruling in regards to bringing children to the Masjid?

Rasulullah Salallahu Alaihi Wasallam is reported to have said, “Keep your children away from your Masajid.” In another narration Rasulullah Salallahu Alaihi Wasallam is reported to have said, “Verily the Masjid is kept away from mucus or phlegm as skin is kept away from fire.” When mucus and phlegm is abhorred in the Masjid in spite of it being Paak, then the Masjid is more worthy of being kept clean from urine and impurities. There is a strong possibility of little children soiling the Masajid hence, they should be kept away from the Masajid. In a certain Masjid, a child urinated and then walked through the Masjid soiling all the carpets leading to the exit of the Masjid, hence, their presence in the Masjid is strongly prohibited. Also, in most instances, they are unaware of the etiquettes of the Masjid and cause a disturbance to those engaged in Salaah. Therefore, small children should not be brought to the Masajid.
