Amazing Qur'an recitation by a young child (Surah Al-Mujadilah)

can little boy lead this salah?? ^o)

:sl:

:fatwa:

This is the Hanafi position.

Although some opinions state that a child can lead taraweeh prayers in Ramadan, this is not the strongest position in the Hanafi school. However, if one finds that his masjid took the other opinion and appointed a child who is a hafidh of the Qur’an as the imam for taraweeh prayers because no one else was qualified in the community, based on there being a valid difference, there may be some leniency in this case. And Allah knows best. We ask Allah Ta’ala to make our children the imams of tomorrow and leaders of the pious.

[Ibn Nujaym, Bahr al-Ra’iq; Zayla`i, Tabyin al-Haqa’iq]
