At what age should children sleep separately?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: My son and daughter are small and sleep together in one bed.

At what age should I separate them and place them in different beds?

If I had two sons, would it be permissible for them to continue sleeping in the same bed, even as they get older?

Bismillaah

A: It is safer to separate them after the age of eight.

As above.

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