Lots of questions about how young or how old you have to be to

00:00:04 --> 00:00:05

literary prayer.

00:00:06 --> 00:00:11

So mashallah, we've got many, many families who have Hafiz who are

00:00:11 --> 00:00:15

910 1112 years old and they're not ballet, they're not mature yet.

00:00:15 --> 00:00:18

They're not adolescent. Right? They're not adolescent yet.

00:00:20 --> 00:00:25

So can they read prayers? So according to our sound, strong

00:00:25 --> 00:00:26

view in our Muslim

00:00:27 --> 00:00:31

children can't lead taraweeh prayers. They can't lead anybody

00:00:31 --> 00:00:34

in prayer because they're not qualified yet to in terms of the

00:00:34 --> 00:00:38

age to lead the prayers. You have to be valued. You have to be

00:00:38 --> 00:00:41

mature. Right? I don't I don't think I need to unless somebody

00:00:41 --> 00:00:46

wants me to add them to describe how to become mature. Right. But

00:00:46 --> 00:00:50

yes, so you need to be at least so that means 1415 At least right.

00:00:51 --> 00:00:52

And then you can lead the prayer

"I really think this is one of the greatest causes one could support"
