It is a requirement that she veils full time once hitting puberty. Puberty is when the person is of the age or ability to conceive, i.e. their first period and the approx. 28 days before it, which is when the ovulation actually begins. (you can confirm what puberty is by looking under wikipedia)\n\nThis age, puberty, varies for every person and is left to the parents to determine it for their child.\n\nIn addition, it is the parent's obligation to prepare the child for veiling/covering, by introducing it at a younger age. Also, at age 7 all people are required to begin making all their prayers and it is a sin on them if they miss a prayer (salat prayer only) after they hit the age of 10. So.... she has to start covering her head for the salat prayers (five times a day) at age 7. So, many people start having their daughters wear it regularly then, but it is up to the parent to do their best to make the hijab/veiling be something she embraces and will do for a lifetime and be prepared to do it by age puberty. It's not really that hard, once she understands that it has nothing to do with the christian concept of covering the head out of submission to the husband as Paul said. It is because of covering out of obedience to Allah only and it is a means of protection, Allah says in The Quran.

yes they do, they can wear any type of underwear. some choose thongs, and others dont. You can get wedgies, so that is why you will see so many girls picking their butt while playing lol!! it can get quite uncomfortable, but hey, its all about the game!

I would say only when she begins to feel self conscious about them.  Some people I'm sure will say not before age X, but in today's world the children are under more and more pressure to look a certain way and they may be more concerned about it than previous generations.  If a girl is worried about her legs then it may be okay to let her shave.  I would say no earlier than 9, though, unless by chance she got her period really really early.

Burqa usually refers to the loose clothing that some Muslim women wear. It is the clothing that the western media loves to take of Muslim women wearing, and put on the front cover of magazines.\n\nThe Niqab is a piece of cloth that covers the face.

Girl..im proud of you! and for the person down below about not a wearing a viel in afghanistan and women voting...all these aspects are becasue of the EXTREMIST GOVERNMENTS in these countries and not because of Islam...Why dont you look at UAE. UAE is a muslim country with Churches, Temples and muslims arent FORCED to wear a Viel either. There are women in government positions eg Sheikha Lubna. The things happening in Pakistan like honour killing are not justifiable by Islam and are Wrong!!! Islam does not encourage this kind of behaviour.

You're not too young to speak your mind, you just did. You sound like a "cool kid".  When you get a little older, you can make a difference by becoming involved in the solution. I hate war too. (and I am muslim)

OK my answer might be a little bit different than other Muslims. women have to dress in a modesty, that doesn't mean to cover their hair. if they want to its OK but they don't have to. and the same for men they have to dress in a good way. and in the quran God said in 24:30 "tell the believing men that they shall subdue their eyes (and not stare at the women), and to maintain their chastity. this is purer for them. God is fully Cognizant of everything they do. and in 24:31 He said "and tell the believing women to subdue their eyes, and maintain their chastity. they shall not reveal any parts of their bodies, except that which is necessary. they shall cover their chests, and shall not relax this code in the presence of other than their husbands, ......" as we see here God ask the men first then ask the women.\n\npeace, hope i answered you question\n\ni believe and follow only the Quran.. the prophet cant say something is "haram" or no. his mission is just to give the people the quran. so when people say gold and silk is "haram" for men that is not true. there is no where in the quran that say that. i ask every Muslim to read about it and to go to www.submission.org

You're a fool. Back then girls were married off around 12 or 13 and then usually had kids arounds 14 or 15. Get used to it, that's just how it was.

I work in education. I see children dressed in the latest fashion , designer clothes and expensive jewlrey. i see other children in clothes that are old and tattered. The parents of the poorly dressed kids can't afford expensive clothes and their children usually stay on the sidelines,feel inferior and are made fun of by the other children. This happens in all age groups. If there was a uniform all would be equal and this would be one less stress kids wouldn't have to deal with. The uniform could be as simple as an inexpensive pair of jeans and a tee shirt.
