Does a small child invalidate the prayer when he stands in front of the worshipper?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The passage or standing of a boy in front of a worshipper does not nullify or invalidate the prayer. However, he should be prevented and pushed away, because he might disturb the worshipper's prayer and diminish their devotion. An exception to this is made for situations of necessity.
