Question

I would like to ask you a Masala: Are you allowed to pass in front of the children's saffs (row), in the masjid?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

It is permissible to pass in front of the children’s row during congregational salah only if one does so to fill in a space in the front. [1]

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
