Is anything required of the mother and father when their son prays while asleep, especially during prostration?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Parents must train their children to pray from the age of seven, based on the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, who said: "Command your children to pray when they are seven years old." The child should be taught to love prayer and its virtues, and accustomed to sleeping early to wake up for it. If that does not work, they may be lightly beaten, provided it is not harmful. If the child still does not respond, then the parents bear no sin thereafter.
