The answer

A girl who understands speech and comprehends answers is obligated to pray and perform the five daily prayers. She must be taught ritual purity (tahara) and how to pray. This obligation does not cease merely because she experiences learning difficulties, for the obligation is lifted only from the insane and the mentally deficient.
