Question
May a 2 year old girl go with her father for shopping? How should she be dressed?
Answer
It is permissible for the 2 year old girl to accompany her father when he goes shopping. It is necessary that the little girl be dressed Islamically, fully covered with ankle-length dress. There is no need for her face to be covered. In fact, little girls and boys should be Islamically clad from infancy. The tarbiyat of children commences from the day they are born, hence the Athaan and Iqaamat are recited in their ears on the day they are born.
