Child sleeping with the parents on the bed
Question
Can both parents sleep with their own child of 10-11 years of age on the same bed because of the lack of space in the room? Would this not affect the parents marriage?
Answer
He should be under a different sheet or blanket altogether. At least keep a few pillows or cushions between themselves. If it is girl them let her be totally on the mother's side.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
