\n Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘Umayr from Hammad ibn AI-HaIabiy who has said: \n \u2018Abu ‘Abdullah -asws has said: \u2018We instruct our children to perform Salat when they are five years old.\u00a0 Instruct your children to perform Salat when they are seven years old.\u00a0 We instruct our children to fast when they are seven years old if they can endure fasting even up to midday, or more than this or less.

When thirst and hunger bother them, they discontinue the fast. This is to familiarise them with fasting and to build their endurance to fast. So, instruct your children to fast when they are nine years old and for as much of the day they can fast. When thirst bothers them, then you should allow them to discontinue their fast.\u2019 [4] \n Therefore, children\u2019s religious training starts earlier, as Zakat and Hajj will only become mandatory when they start earning and have enough savings.

\n Also children should be taught Holy Quran, i.e., when reaching the age of seven, and etiquettes and Ahadith, (see Ahadith in Appendix II): \n During the religious training time, children learn how to clean and washing themselves and perform Wuzu (Ablution), however at reaching adolescence (puberty) they will start experiencing, what adults face, from getting Najis (unclean) both boys and girls.

\u00a0That may be from the \u2018wet dreams\u2019 and some days of uncleanliness for young girls every month, the former is called the state of \u2018 Al-junub \u2019 and the latter is called the \u2018 Haydh \u2019.

\n It is the responsibility of the parents to teach young-ones that it\u2019s something natural and it will become a \u2018norm\u2019 for them in their adulthood.\u00a0 All they have to do is to calm down and start acquiring religious knowledge to deal with this as well as some other issues they will face in their adulthood. \n Prior to reaching the adolescence, a child should not share bed with parents, as this could have been the case, in some families for their infants. For example.
