Ruling on Short Clothing for Girls Under the Age of Eight
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on short clothing for young girls who have not yet reached the age of eight?
Answer:
They should be accustomed to wearing complete, proper clothing. Otherwise, if their clothing is below the knee and above the foot, there is no harm. However, they should be accustomed to covering clothing, because if they are seven or eight years old, they may be a source of temptation. It may be... good.
The point is that it is incumbent upon their mothers and those responsible for them to accustom them to complete, proper clothing and covering, so that they grow up with this and become accustomed to modesty. There is no harm if their clothing is above the ankles, especially when there is a need for it. However, the habit should be that it is covering, so that the girl practices it and becomes accustomed to it. This is the most preferable, the most appropriate, and the safest course. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
