The Sign of Puberty Obligating Accountability
My daughter is 12 years old and has not yet reached puberty, but underarm hair has appeared. Does she have to wear the full hijab?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: Puberty is marked by menstruation, not by the appearance of hair. However, you should dress her in the hijab to avoid temptation and for her upbringing, and God knows best.
