CHILD-FRIENDLY MOSQUES: UNDERSTANDING HADITHS ON TREATING CHILDREN IN THE MOSQUE

This research examines the hadiths regarding the participation of children who have not yet reached the age of discernment (tamyīz) in mosques and how the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) addressed situations where they passed in front of people praying. The study stems from the societal debates surrounding the presence of young children in mosques, which can sometimes lead to disturbances or children passing in front of those praying. This research is a qualitative study using the thematic hadith study method by collecting, analyzing, and interpreting hadiths related to the discussed theme. The findings reveal that there are numerous authentic (sahih) hadiths explaining the participation of children below the age of discernment in mosques. These hadiths indicate that the presence of such children in mosques did not disrupt the Prophet (PBUH) in leading prayers, particularly when he served as the imam. . Moreover, the practice of bringing small children, including those under the age of tamyiz, to mosques was common during the time of the Prophet (PBUH) and his companions. Authentic hadiths also show that young children passing in front of those praying were tolerated by the Prophet (PBUH), as there are the mosque has been a child-friendly place ever since the time of the Prophet.[ Penelitian ini mengkaji hadis-hadis tentang keikutsertaan anak yang belum tamy i z ke masjid dan bagaimana hadis menyikapi mereka ketika bermain di dalam masjid.

Abstract

This research examines the hadiths regarding the participation of children who have not yet reached the age of discernment (tamyīz) in mosques and how the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) addressed situations where they passed in front of people praying. The study stems from the societal debates surrounding the presence of young children in mosques, which can sometimes lead to disturbances or children passing in front of those praying. This research is a qualitative study using the thematic hadith study method by collecting, analyzing, and interpreting hadiths related to the discussed theme. The findings reveal that there are numerous authentic (sahih) hadiths explaining the participation of children below the age of discernment in mosques. These hadiths indicate that the presence of such children in mosques did not disrupt the Prophet (PBUH) in leading prayers, particularly when he served as the imam. . Moreover, the practice of bringing small children, including those under the age of tamyiz, to mosques was common during the time of the Prophet (PBUH) and his companions. Authentic hadiths also show that young children passing in front of those praying were tolerated by the Prophet (PBUH), as there are the mosque has been a child-friendly place ever since the time of the Prophet.[ Penelitian ini mengkaji hadis-hadis tentang keikutsertaan anak yang belum tamy i z ke masjid dan bagaimana hadis menyikapi mereka ketika bermain di dalam masjid.
