Honorable sheikh, I have often seen differences among people regarding the issue of children entering upon women.

As for those who are not students of knowledge, from what I have seen, I mean.

Negligence, as some of them may allow those who are twelve or fourteen years old.

And perhaps some of them are even older than that, to enter upon women, and they see no problem in that. On the other hand, I have also seen.

Among some brothers who are committed to the religion of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic.

Strictness in this matter, so they prevent even those who are.

At the age of five, or maybe at the age of four, some make du'a because this child is intelligent, or that he notices or distinguishes, meaning.

Between what is good and what is bad.

So what is the criterion for that? And what do the evidences mean? Allah the Mighty and Majestic mentioned the criterion for this in the Quran.

He said: And they should not display their adornment except to their husbands or their fathers, until His saying: or the children who are not aware of women's private aspects. This is the criterion.

So if it is seen from the child that he looks at the woman.

Or touches her or something similar to that.

Or if he inclines toward the beautiful woman over the other, it is known that he is becoming aware of women's private parts.

And this only happens from the age of ten and above.

Unless the child lives in an environment where people are always talking about women and desire, then it might happen to him.

That he becomes aware of women's private parts before reaching the age of ten.

This is regarding a woman showing her face in front of him.

As for being alone with a woman, this must be avoided.

That is because, even though the child does not have in him

what would lead to being cautious about him, but if he is alone with the woman, the woman herself may

have some corruption in her, and she may try to arouse his desire.

Yes, and she might even allow him access to herself or something similar.

Being alone is one thing, and a woman uncovering her face to a child is another; meaning, being alone should be greatly avoided.

So that the woman does not play around with the child.

And if we know that there are women who bring a monkey to themselves.

To enjoy it, then what about a boy who is seven or eight years old.

Because some insist that under the age of ten there is nothing wrong. This is the basic rule.

This is the basic rule, but as I told you, unless it is in an environment where people talk.

About women and related matters.
