Question:
What is the ruling on a young girl praying without a head covering?
Answer:
If she has not reached puberty, her prayer is valid; based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Sunan Ibn Majah 655Sahih (Darussalam), which indicates that a non-menstruating woman, and she is a prepubescent girl, has no blame on her in praying without a head covering. However, it is more preferable and more complete for her to pray with a head covering if she is seven years old or older; as for those under seven, both males and females, they are not among those obligated to pray; based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): Sunan ad-Daraqutni 3:5.

Answer:
If she has not reached puberty, her prayer is valid; based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
Allah does not accept the prayer of a woman who menstruates (i.e., an adult woman) except with a head cover.
لا يقبل الله صلاة حائض إلا بخمارCommand your children to pray at seven, beat them for it at ten, and separate them in their beds.
مروا أولادكم بالصلاة لسبع واضربوهم عليها لعشر وفرقوا بينهم في المضاجع
