The question

Are you mistaken in delaying your 13-year-old daughter's decision to wear the hijab, due to her not knowing its value, and your desire for her to wear it when she understands its worth and commits to it?

The answer

For a mother to prevent her daughter from wearing the hijab at this age, claiming she does not understand its value, is a mistake. Rather, she should take the initiative to dress her in the hijab and teach her about its ruling, merits, and virtues, even if she is younger. The Permanent Committee has issued a fatwa stating that it is obligatory for a guardian to discipline their minor daughters so that they do not go out except with their awrah covered, out of fear of fitna, and to teach them virtuous morals.
