Does my two daughters reaching puberty (aged 5 and 6), with the appearance of some signs of puberty on them, make them accountable and responsible for their actions?

Puberty is defined by specific signs, such as the appearance of thick hair around the pubic area that requires shaving, not light hair or hair on the armpits, beard, and mustache. If these signs appear on your daughters, it means they have reached the age of religious accountability and responsibility, and you must raise them to observe God's limits. The early appearance of these signs might indicate a hormonal imbalance, and it is advisable to have them examined by a specialized doctor.
