Re: teaching a child how to perform salah
Ok here its how its done .....cos the child is still in the learning process ......... you tell the kid to recide out loud and where ever she makes mistakes .. you correct her ........ and because she am sure is not baaligh yet ..there will be no problem for her cos shes still learning and its difficult especially if shes a revert. and secondly you dont have to tell her to perform the exact prayer at the exact time .. you can make her do practice runs .. like make her do intention for nafls etc ...but basically whereever she makes mistakes you can also use your hands to help her to adjust to right positions in namaz like how far down to go in ruku and you can push her down from her back to ensure she knows how far down to go ..... and whilst she is reciting you can stop her and tell her to read again or if she cant recall it then tell her ......
i hope this helped ......... this is the way we were taught .....by my father ... am sure this is the correct manner to teach a child cos my father is a scholar.. and hes taught us like this .....so i believe this is the method.
Do ask Questions if unsure about anything.
Also with mother .. you can help her in the same method ...as its the learning process. that you listen to the namaz and correct her with out performing it in actions and make her do the actions of namaz separately .. or both at same time like with the kid ...
