Dressing the Girl in a Hijab Before the Age of Responsibility
The father imposed the hijab on his young daughters before the age of responsibility, yet the girl constantly blames her mother for depriving her of her childhood. What is the ruling on wearing the hijab before the age of responsibility, and does it have a negative impact on the girl's psychology?
Answer
I say, and with God's guidance: It is preferable for a girl to wear the hijab before reaching the age of obligation, out of fear of temptation and so that she can get used to it. However, parents should gradually introduce it to her due to the corruption of the times, so that she does not experience negative effects in the future, and God knows best.
