Question

I want to asks how does Islam guide us about Married life. Up to what age should a child be kept with father/mother in their private room. As children grow, spouses feel problems in their private life. Please guide me according to Islamic teachings.

Answer

It is better that the child be separated after the age of five.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
