Question

Respected Mufti Desai, I am muslima who wants to know if my salaat is valid because my 18 months old toddler sometimes plays around while I am in salaat and sometimes tries to get my attention. At times, this does effect my concentration because I am not sure if salaat would be acceptable? Please assist me in this matter. Jazzakallah Khair.

Answer

The salaat is valid.

Was salaam
