The obligation of wearing the niqab, even if the parents object
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you well. She says that she is a religious girl, praise be to Allah, and she wants to wear the niqab, but her father and mother are refusing. The reason for their refusal is their ignorance, and that it will delay her marriage. However, she is a believer, praise be to Allah, and she believes that everything is a divine decree and destiny. She asks for your guidance, may Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
It is obligatory to wear the hijab, covering the face, hands, and the rest of her body from men who are not her mahram (a relative one may not marry). She must explain to her parents the ruling of the Shari'ah in this matter and remind them of the evidence for it. I do not think they will object if the ruling of the Shari'ah becomes clear to them. If it happens that they object, she should not pay attention to them, but rather adhere to the hijab in obedience to Allah and His Messenger. She must not obey her parents or anyone else in abandoning the hijab. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There is no obedience to a created being in disobedience to the Creator." Yes.
