Ruling on Wearing Short Clothing for Young Girls

Question:
One of the female listeners is also asking and saying: Is it permissible for a mother to dress her daughters in a short garment, meaning one that is above the knee, and have them wear trousers underneath? Is that permissible, and their ages are between one and ten years old?

Answer:
There is no harm in that if the trousers cover them, but leaving this is better; so that they do not get accustomed to this shortness that causes fitnah. It should be known that they should be taught to cover up, even if they are young; so that they get accustomed to it. Dress them in loose clothing that covers their feet so that they get accustomed to it, especially if the girl is nine years old or around that age; for she is a woman.
As for the small girl who is two years old, her case is easier. But, especially if she is wearing trousers, and in any case, using loose clothing for all the girls is the Sunnah, it is the better option; so that they get accustomed to that good. Yes.
