Question:Is it obligatory to separate between children when sleeping, and from what age should this be initiated?

Answer:In the name of Allah, if the children's behavior shows distinguishing in such matters and an inclination towards distinguishing between the reprehensible and evil on one hand, and the good and bad on the other hand, then separation is required.
