[quote]Salaam. I think, so long as children are not mature enough to think independently and be conscious of the taught right and wrong, their upbringing - development of preferences and inclinations - depends upon their parents. Till such time that maturity and independent decision-making strikes children, they are the parents responsibility, and for such a time, the latter will be held responsible. In light of this, ahadith too stress the importance of properly training children to offer their prayers, etc. I am not sure of the significance of age 7 mentioned in the ahadith, particularly. Perhaps, someone else with more authority on hadith can shed some light? In any case, at young ages, if parents try to make regular "namazis" out of their children, that's not enfocement or compulsion. That's a responsibility and requirement. It becomes enforcement or compulsion only when you become mature enough to make your own conscious decisions. Wasalaam.[/quote]
