What is the ruling on compelling children aged seven and eight to perform Fajr prayer and waking them up at the time of the Adhan? And is waking them up daily to study religion and memorize the Qur’an considered an exhaustion of their childhood?

Parents should raise their children to be obedient and good, so they become accustomed to it. There is no harm in compelling a child to memorize the Qur’an, while using encouraging methods, as this strengthens their resolve and accustoms them to patience. Gentleness should be used when waking children under the age of ten for Fajr prayer, so they do not become averse to it. There are many biographical books that narrate the stories of the righteous.
