Taking small children to the Haram Shareef
Question
Are children allowed in the haram for umrah with parents once they are using diapers? Is it ok to bring the child to Ka'ba or tawaaf when there's a possibility that diaper may not be clean?
Answer
Small little children should not be brought into the Haram Shareef. The hadeeth prohibits bringing small little children to the masaajid.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
