At what age should children sleep separately?
Question
My son and daughter are small and sleep together in one bed.
At what age should I separate them and place them in different beds?
If I had two sons, would it be permissible for them to continue sleeping in the same bed, even as they get older?
Answer
It is safer to separate them after the age of eight.
As above.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
