The hijab of a girl who has started menstruating and is ten years old

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A woman says: My daughter has started her monthly period and she is ten years old. Is it obligatory for us to cover her face, or does she only need to observe hijab with her face showing?

Answer:
She has become a woman. Once she menstruates, she is a woman, and what is obligatory for a woman is obligatory for her: she must observe hijab and cover her face, just like a woman. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Allah does not accept the prayer of a woman who menstruatesلا يقبل الله صلاة حائض
Sunan Ibn Majah 655Sahih (Darussalam)
Any girl who has reached the age of menstruation,
Allah does not accept the prayer of a woman who menstruates (i.e., an adult woman)لا يقبل الله صلاة حائض بغير
Sunan Ibn Majah 655Sahih (Darussalam)
donkey. If she menstruates, she becomes a woman, even if the menstruation is early, because a woman can menstruate at the age of nine. Yes.
