Where children should stand in the musjid
Q:
1. Where should children stand in the saff, just one saff behind the men, or two, or very far back?
2. If the 9 yr old child stands one saff behind the men, then the late comers come in and end up standing next to the boy, is this a mistake from the child? Some insist the child should stand many saffs behind to accommodate for late comers.
