🔸 On Monitoring a Child’s Habit of Nudity

*"Would you allow a child who isn’t yet accountable (Mukallaf) to smoke cigarettes? Of course not—you’d say they’ll get used to it and become a smoker as they grow older. This shows that certain restrictions apply even at an early age. Would you allow them to use heroin? Yet some parents take their children outside wearing just a sleeveless shirt. When you advise them, they respond: ‘They’re not Mukallaf yet!’

But if the child becomes accustomed to nudity, will modesty suddenly appear in them after they reach the age of accountability? No! Just as humans possess desires, they also have safeguards like modesty, which controls those desires. Every trait has its complement and guardian.

However, because we fail to understand this, we neglect its importance. Faithlessness starts with such carelessness, while faith begins with attentiveness to these matters.”*
