Ordering the boy to pray and obliging the girl to wear the hijab
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He (peace and blessings be upon him) said, so when the boy is ordered to pray and he is seven years old, it is strict. What is the meaning of this order? Is he woken up for the Fajr prayer? And is she obliged to wear the proper Shari'ah hijab?
The Shaykh:
Yes, the discerning child is ordered to pray, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered in his saying. As for the male and the female, they are ordered to pray. The male is required to go to the mosque, praying with the congregation; he goes out with his father and prays in the mosque. As for the girl, she prays in the house. This is what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered.
The questioner:
And is the girl obliged to wear the hijab as long as she has not reached puberty?
The Shaykh:
No, no, she is not obliged to wear the hijab by compulsion. And if she is ordered to do so for the sake of training you and compensating her for it, that is a good thing. But compulsion is not applied to her unless she reaches puberty, when she menstruates.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
Or she reaches fifteen years of age, or if she experiences a wet dream, as the male reaches puberty by what causes the male to reach puberty, and she exceeds him by menstruation. Yes.
