when we discussed this topic previously, that what I find really really hard to understand is why prevent children of even seven years, who are clearly old and matured enough to pray, from entering? Unruly kids, etc I can understand(though it must be said that the Prophet never banned children from entering masjids,ever!) but kids who are actually there to pray are being denied entrance too.
Anyways it appears this "ban" is only in the ladies section cos little boys are allowed in the men section.
Oh well..as beautiful as it is, there are happily plenty of other masjids in Doha that we ladies with kids can go pray in this Ramadhan.
And I guess it goes without saying that if anyone knows their kids are going to act badly and disrupt prayers, then they don't need a ban to be enforced in order to know that it's better for them not to bring their kids to the masjids!
