Q: Can you please explain as to the reason children are sent to the back of the Musjid for namaaz/lectures i.e Jumma? my son is almost 8 years old (2 months time), but I keep him with me as the other children get up to mischief at the back.
A:
The Hadith has specifically mentioned that children be made to stand in the last lines. It is advisable that you stand with your children at the back of the Musjid or at the end of a line in order to monitor the behaviour of your children.
