Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The first message in this episode is one that reached the program from Riyadh, sent by a group of sisters: (N. M. Saleh). The sisters are asking this question: The question says: When must a woman cover herself from the boys? That is: What is the age of the boy from whom a woman is obligated to cover herself?
May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Praise be to Allah, and may Allah send blessings and peace upon the Messenger of Allah, and upon his family and his Companions, and upon those who follow his guidance. As for what follows:
So Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said: [Al-Nur: 59]. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sahih al-Bukhari 6241.
So covering oneself (hijab) is after puberty. When the boy reaches fifteen years of age, or it is known that he has wet his bed, or he has grown the coarse hair around the private parts, he thereby becomes a pubescent boy, and it becomes obligatory for him to seek permission, and it becomes obligatory to cover oneself from him.
But a woman should be cautious. If he is an adolescent who is approaching the age of puberty, let her be cautious, and let her cover herself from him, and she must not be in seclusion with him; to avoid doubt and to guard against fitnah (trial, discord or temptation). Yes.

So Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said:
And when the children among you reach puberty, let them ask permission [at all times] as those before them have done
وَإِذَا بَلَغَ الأَطْفَالُ مِنْكُمُ الْحُلُمَ فَلْيَسْتَأْذِنُوا كَمَا اسْتَأْذَنَ الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْVerily! The order of taking permission to enter has been enjoined because of that sight
