Official Transcript (English)
Yes, it is permissible to bring children into mosques, and we should bear whatever disturbance they may cause. It was narrated from Buraidah ibn al-Husaib (may Allah be pleased with them both): 'I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) delivering a sermon, and Al-Hasan and Al-Husayn came wearing red shirts, walking and stumbling. The Prophet (peace be upon him) descended [from the pulpit], picked them up, and placed them in his lap. Then he said: "Allah and His Messenger have spoken the truth: {Your wealth and your children are but a trial} [Al-Anfal: 28]. I saw these two and I could not be patient." Then he resumed his sermon.' (Ahmad).
الجواب الكامل (باللغة العربية)
نعم يجوز إدخال الصِّبيان المساجد، ونتحمَّل ما يقع منهم من أذى، عن بريدة بن الحصيب -رضي الله عنهما- قال: رأيت رسول الله ﷺ يخطب، فأقبل حسن وحسين عليهما قميصان أحمران، يعثران ويقومان، فنزل النَّبيُّ ﷺ فأخذهما فوضعهما في حجره، فقال: "صدق الله ورسوله: {أنَّما أموالكم وأولادكم فتنة} [الأنفال: 28]، رأيت هذين فلم أصبر". ثمَّ أخذ في خطبته. (أحمد).
