Little girls in hijabs

So I was at a Pakistani store today when a niqabi came in with her two young daughters, one of whom looked not older than 4 years old. It’s quite hot today and this poor little girl was clearly struggling with her hijab, trying to loosen it around the neck, pushing it away from her face. As the Pakistani community grows in my area, there seems to be an increase in niqaabies, and it’s rare that their daughters are not wearing a glittery hijab.

Do you think it’s appropriate for little girls, aged 5-12 to wear hijab? In the west, most Islamic schools require girls to wear hijab starting from KG. Many Pakistanis force hijab on their daughters, some from a very early age. If you believe hijab is a choice then do you think a 5 year old is capable of making that choice? If you believe Islam requires all women regardless of age, to be shrouded from head to toe then what do you think about little girls in niqab?

Did it occur to you that those were NOT your children and them wearing niqab did not take your freedom away from you to do what you do in your life?

People like you need to start minding their own business.
