Teaching children before the age of six
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
What is your opinion on teaching children before the age of six, as is the current practice? Does it have an effect on the child?
The Shaykh:
It may be beneficial if it is feasible. So, if he learns before the age of seven, that is good leading to good, good leading to good, until he reaches the age of seven, and then he has become attached to it.
The questioner:
Your Eminence the Shaykh, is there a difference between a boy and a girl in this regard?
The Shaykh:
The ruling is one, but the daughters are to be taught by women, and the boys by men. Yes.
