Explaining the obligation to teach children Islamic etiquette and what is related to it, as derived from the texts of the Shari'ah.

The Shaykh : So, it is obligatory for the private authorities in these schools, at the very least, not to be influenced by the tastes of disbelievers, and to impose Islamic etiquette on the young, as is derived and inferred from the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
Are we close to arriving?

Another questioner : Before my Shaykh, the bridge...

The Shaykh : I mean, close, I am saying we are close.

Another questioner : Behind...

The Shaykh: Yes.
As he (peace be upon him) said.

Another questioner : You passed it, my Shaykh, you passed it...

The Shaykh; so his saying (peace and blessings be upon him) does not mean, for one who understands the objectives and aims of the Shari'ah: that they pray, for example, naked, or that they pray without ablution, no; because that would not be the prayer that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded; and therefore, this command necessitates very important matters concerning the guardian of the child: the first of these is that he should teach the seven-year-old child ablution; because it is not permissible for him to enter prayer without ablution. And among these is that he should teach him the purity of the garment and the purity of the place where he stands to pray, and although this usually concerns the house, the parents' house, and usually the place where he will pray is pure by default, but this is necessary so that he understands what is related to prayer in terms of conditions and pillars. Likewise, for example: it should be taught that prayer requires, or at least obligates, covering the 'awrah (part of the body that must be covered); and therefore, we find in many mosques small children whose presence in the mosque and participation with the men in their prayer is pleasing to the eye, but you see their thighs exposed; why? Because their father and mother dressed them in these "pants," and did not teach them that prayer has etiquettes that must be observed, and so on.
And in conclusion, we say: it is obligatory for the school administration to raise the children on Islamic etiquette, and especially if they are women and girls. And perhaps this extent is sufficient as an answer to that question.

The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
