Is it permissible when teaching little girls to perform Namaaz, to instruct them to recite loudly in order to correct their mistakes?

Question

Is it permissible when teaching little girls to perform Namaaz, to instruct them to recite loudly in order to correct their mistakes? Also, it helps to inculcate in them to perform Salaat slowly.

Answer

Even little girls should not be made to recite Qiraa't in Salaat loudly nor perform in Jamaa't. They should be taught the correct method of performance from childhood. Performing quickly and haphazardly is in the nature of children. They should be reminded each time of the importance of Salaat and the Waajib need to perform calmly and with dignity. As they grow, they will learn, Insha'Allah.
