Ask The Imam Question and Answer

204 If you miss a Namaz what punishment do you receive? And what age do you have to be to read Namaz some people say 7 but others say 12, what is the right age?
In the Holy Quran it says : In Paradises, they shall ask each other about the cruels “what has brought you into lower hell?” They will say, “we were not of those who established Salaat (Muslim Prayer)” (Kanzul Iman , Surah Mooddassir 2nd Rukooh Ayat 40-43 , Page 757).

Further it States in a Hadith that “one who has missed namaz; so namaz time has gone past, that person will burn for many Hukbah in Jahanum (Hell), every Hukbah is of 80 years, each year being of 360 days”.

Namaz becomes fard when a child reaches the age of adulthood (puberty). Miskaat Shareefs Hadith states that RasoolAllah (S.A.W) said that at age of seven encourage (teach) your child to pray (give him order (hukm)) and by age of 10 to make sure he will pray even if you have to be harsh with him (warn, shun him if required).
