Girls wearing skimpy and short clothes

What is the ruling on girls who have not yet reached puberty wearing pants and skimpy clothes?.

 

Praise be to Allaah.

The definition of the ‘awrah of children, male and female, is
something for which there is no clear evidence in the Qur’aan and Sunnah.
The view of most of the fuqaha’ is that when a girl reaches the age where
she may be desired by those of a sound nature, then her ‘awrah is like that
of an adult woman. But if she has not reached that age, then it is
permissible to make concessions about her hijab until she does reach that
age. 

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
There is no ruling on the ‘awrah of a very young girl, and she does not have
to cover her face, neck, hands and feet, and a small girl should not be
obliged to do that. But when a girl reaches an age when men could be
attracted to her and desire her, then she should observe hijab so as to ward
off fitnah and evil. This varies from one woman to another; some of them
grow quickly and start looking attractive and others do not.  

With regard to wearing skimpy clothes, it is better not to
let young girls get used to such clothes. It is important for girls to grow
up loving virtue, until they get used to it. Hence Islam gives children a
preparatory stage in which they can get used to praying and does not make it
obligatory all of a sudden, because it takes time to get used to it and
learn it. When a girl is nine years old, she should start learning and
getting used to what will be required of her, before she reaches puberty. It
does not make any sense to make the difference between covering the ‘awrah
and not doing so the night when the girl gets her period and reaches
puberty. That should not happen. 

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen
said: I think that people should not dress their daughters in these clothes
when they are young because if the girl gets used to them she will continue
to wear them and take the matter lightly. But if she gets used to modesty
from an early age, she will remain modest when she grows up. What I advise
my Muslim sisters to do is to forsake the clothing of foreigners and enemies
of Islam, and make their daughters get used to wearing concealing clothes
and to modesty, for it is part of faith.

 From Fataawa al-Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen in al-Da’wah
magazine, issue no. 1709, p. 35. 

It is well known that there is no ruling on the ‘awrah of a
child who is younger than seven, but there can be no doubt that letting
children get used to short and skimpy clothes will make them careless about
uncovering their ‘awrah in the future, and a person may not be bothered
about uncovering his thighs because he used to uncover them when he was
little. 

So we should prevent children from wearing such clothes even
when they are small.
