Determining the age of children regarding hijab from them

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Is there a specific age for hijab from children?
There is no specific age;By the saying of Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He):
or children who are not yet aware of the private aspects of womenأوِ الطِّفْلِ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يَظْهَرُوا عَلَى عَوْرَاتِ النِّسَاءِ
[Surat al-Nur: 31] He did not specify them by a particular age. So, if it is known that this boy looks at women and follows women, and he becomes aware of women’s private parts, then it is obligatory to observe hijab from him. Generally, this is from ten years of age and above. However, some children are unaware of this matter and do not see women’s private parts because they have not heard about it in their gatherings. And some children are more aware of this because they discuss this matter in the gatherings, so a love for women and looking at them develops in them.
