Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: If a girl begins menstruating at the age of ten, is fasting obligatory for her, or does she have to wait until she is fifteen years old?
Answer:
Fasting and prayer are not obligatory for her until she becomes accountable. Once a girl begins menstruating, whether at the age of nine or ten, prayer becomes obligatory for her, hijab becomes obligatory for her, and fasting becomes obligatory for her, because she has reached the age of a woman. Yes.
