Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: Is it permissible for a ten-year-old girl to perform tawaf while her hair is uncovered?

Answer:
It is not permissible for her to do so, because she is a pubescent girl or an adult; for a girl may reach puberty at the age of nine. The minimum age at which a slave girl reaches puberty is nine years, but a ten-year-old girl is considered an adult and a pubescent girl or an adult who must cover herself and observe hijab. Yes.
