Child standing at the end of the saff

· 18 Jumada II 1445 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Can small children (non baaligh) stand at the end of the adult staff where an adult cannot stand due to musalla being small?

Answer

The children should be made to stand in the children's saff, not in the adult's saff. However, if there is only one child present in the musjid, he can be made to stand in the small place at the end of the adult's saff.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
