Obedience to Parents in Abandoning the Face Veil and Taking the Wife Out

Question:
My father and mother do not want my wife to wear the niqab, so I left the house with my wife. I ask, and I say that I am constantly in contact with them and send them money. Does my action of leaving the home count as undutifulness to parents?

Answer:
No, this is not obedience to Allah, nor is it undutifulness to the parents. The parents are the ones who are wrong, ordering the removal of the hijab and the face veil. This is disobedience, and there is no obedience to a creation in the disobedience of the Creator. Even if they force you, meaning the parents, it is not permissible to obey a creation in the disobedience of the Creator, whether it is the parents or anyone else. You did well in taking your wife to another residence to distance her from them. However, you must maintain contact with them, be dutiful to them, make supplication for them, enjoin them to do good, forbid them from doing evil, and make it clear to them that the hijab is a divine law, a Shari'ah, and an obligation upon the woman. If they return from their opinion and admit their mistake, you may return your wife to the residence. Yes.
