Compelling the Wife to Wear the Prescribed Hijab

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Also, among the questions that came in this episode, a man says: My wife displays her adornment, and sometimes she goes out and comes in frequently, and she goes to the markets. When I forbid her from displaying her adornment, she says that her heart is pure and clean, and that this is part of the fashion, or something of that sort. So what is the guidance? May Allah bless you. And should I compel her to wear the prescribed hijab?

Answer:
Yes, yes, compel her to wear the prescribed hijab, take her by the hand, and do not leave her alone, for she is your responsibility; you are the shepherd over her
Men are in charge of women by [right of] what Allah has given one over the otherالرِّجَالُ قَوَّامُونَ عَلَى النِّسَاءِ بِمَا فَضَّلَ اللَّهُ بَعْضَهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ
[An-Nisa 4:34]
So you must protect her, compel her to wear the covering hijab, and prevent her from going out except for a need, and in a secure manner. You are the guardian over her and responsible for her. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
