			The child in Islam doesn't take a
shot at just if he's adopted. He
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:06
			just starts practicing Islam with
those people, because he's not
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:10
			gonna cut it off command of Allah
is not to children yet. So when a
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:14
			child is adopted by Muslims, he
just starts praying and making we
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:17
			do with them and just being a
Muslim. He doesn't have to
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:21
			essentially take your head. Allah
speech. Allah's command is meant
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:26
			for adults of sound mind. And past
puberty, those two conditions. So
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:30
			a child or someone who is a not of
sound mind, they don't have to
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:32
			take the Shahada. They don't have
to do any of these things. Now
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:35
			it's good for the child to do it
to get used to it, but he's not
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:39
			responsible for it. So a boy like
that just hanging out with us. I
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:41
			want to be like you want to be
Muslim and he prays with us when
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:45
			he sees us pray now. We just lines
up. He doesn't ask questions. He
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:48
			doesn't ask questions and doesn't
even make we do just lines up.
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:52
			And he comes to our Eid parties
who will be everywhere.
