The ruling on a twelve-year-old girl not completing the bowing in prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : In the name of Allah. May Allah reward you. Please, go ahead. Yes. She says: Honorable Shaykh, my daughter is twelve years old and does not complete the bowing, and she says, "This is the limit of my ability." What should be done with her? Is this correct or not?

The Shaykh : If it is valid, then
Allah does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacityلَا يُكَلِّفُ اللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا
[Al-Baqarah 2:286]
, and if it is not valid, then explain to her that this is a mistake, and that Islam requires bowing.

The presenter : Thank you. Please, go ahead. Peace be upon you. We will take another call.
