The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) instructed parents to command their children to perform Salah when they reach the age of seven. This teaching is based on the Hadith narrated by Abu Dawud, which also states that children should be disciplined (lightly) for neglecting Salah by the age of ten. This gradual approach reflects the Islamic principle of training children in worship with wisdom and gentleness, allowing them to develop the habit of prayer before it becomes obligatory upon them at puberty.
The Hadith regarding teaching children Salah is reported in Sunan Abu Dawud and is classified as Hasan. It emphasizes the importance of early religious upbringing in Islam. The same Hadith also mentions separating children in their beds by the age of ten, highlighting the broader Islamic approach to nurturing moral and spiritual discipline in stages as children grow.
