Our girls should stand out among others. Their conversation should be wise and clean. The way they walk, their dress, actions and poise should reflect the Islamic injunctions. Develop in them a habit of covering their heads and wearing full and appropriate clothes from the age of 10-11 years. Those who have reached the age of Purda should take care of their Purda. At home give frequent pious guidance and present your own exemplary model before girls younger than yourself, as this will ensure that the future generations continue to observe Islamic teachings.

Listen to that advice of mine repeatedly and direct your girls as well to listen, so that worldly adulterations cannot drift you away from the Islamic teachings. ” (Message for Majlis-e-Shura Lajna Imā’illah Pakistan 2009, Al-Fazl International, January 22, 2010)
