A Row of Children between the Men’s Rows

Question

If there is a row of children between the men’s rows, will the prayer be valid or not?

Answer

The children’s row should be behind the men. In the case asked about the prayer is still valid, but placing the children’s row between the men’s rows or in front of them is makruh.
