Our daughter is 4, she touches the pages, tries to follow along etc. and isn't destructive. But should we be more careful?","answer":"Scholars say that caretakers can permit children to handle the Quran once they reach the age of discernment and during Quranic education, because it can be challenging for children to maintain ritual purity (wudu). The age of discernment is typically around seven but can vary. Prior to reaching this age, parents are entrusted with the responsibility of ensuring that children do not handle the Quran.","tags":[{"_id":"668da0010b76658b4c232b9d","tag":"Relationships: Parent and Child","count":111},{"_id":"668d9fdf0b76658b4c232798","tag":"Quran: Etiquettes","count":63}],"createdOn":"2024-07-09T20:39:57.959Z"}
