A child is not Mukallaf (legally responsible\/obligated) hence his\/her actions will be regarded as Nafl (optional) and consequently its rewards. The scholars of Islam however, have stated that such is the case where the child is Mumayyiz (discerning and mentally mature child i.e. in general, he distinguishes between that which is harmful and beneficial).<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Based on this, if a mentally matured child (Mumayyiz) is familiar with the laws pertaining to Salah, in that, he performs Salah correctly , then it is better that he is not lead by a child who un-familiar with its laws.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>And Allah Ta\u2019\u0101la Knows Best<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Mufti Kaleem Muhammad<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Darul Iftaa, Jaamia Madinatul Uloom (Trinidad)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.fatwa-tt.com\"><strong>www.fatwa-tt.com<\/strong><\/a><strong> \/<\/strong><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/fatwa-tt.com\/2017\/02\/06\/quran-recitation-by-the-grave-after-burial\/www.jaamia.net\"><strong>www.jaamia.net<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Question Is it permissible for a Non-baligh child to lead a congregation of children in Fardh Salah.
