Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says in his question: Honorable Shaykh, at what age is it obligatory for a woman to wear the hijab? And may Allah bless you.
Answer:
She wears the hijab when she reaches puberty. When she reaches puberty through menstruation, as the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Ibn Majah 655Sahih (Darussalam) without red camels. The meaning of menstruation here is that she has reached the age of menstruation. Likewise, if she reaches puberty through the growth of hair around the private parts, the growth of coarse hair around the private parts. And likewise, if she reaches fifteen years of age. This is the last of the signs for both the male and the female. If he reaches fifteen years of age, he has reached the age of maturity. This is because Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) was presented to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) during the Battle of Uhud when he was fourteen years old, but the Prophet did not accept him. He was presented to him in the year of the Trench, which was the third year of the Hijrah, and the Prophet accepted him, meaning when he reached fifteen years of age. Yes.
