A woman’s seclusion from a child who has reached the age of discernment

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, a child who has reached the age of discernment is ten years old. Is it obligatory for a woman to veil herself from him?

Answer:
Or is he past the age of discernment? This is an adolescent or an adult. A child may reach ten years of age, so he is an adolescent approaching puberty or already an adult, and a woman must veil herself from him. Yes.
