(Fatwa: 81/81/M=1432)
If you missed the jama’ah of masjid or you are offering salah with jama’ah at home due to some excuse and there is none with you except your seven year old son, then he may become your muqtadi and can say takbir. However, it is better if you start salah by saying takbir yourself and place your son on your right side.
