What is the ruling on dressing young girls in short clothes that reveal their legs, and is it valid to justify this by saying that it did not harm their mothers after they grew up?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
A person should not dress his young daughter in clothes that make it easy for her to abandon modesty. Rather, she should be accustomed to modest clothing and shyness from a young age, so that these traits become firm in her when she grows up. Muslim women should abandon the clothing of the enemies of religion.
