Obedience to the husband in abandoning the hijab and wearing white clothes in the Haram
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: My husband prevents me from wearing the hijab, even when we are in the Haram. I wear white clothes, but they look like sleepwear, and I pray in them in the Haram. Is the prayer valid? He tells me that many women wear these clothes in the Haram and pray in them. What is the ruling? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
It is not permissible to obey the husband in disobedience to Allah. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:. If the husband says, "Do not wear the hijab," do not obey him. This statement is not permissible; it is an error on his part, born of ignorance. It is obligatory for you to wear the hijab and to disobey him in this. As for the clothes, wear garments that do not cause fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), garments that cover the body and do not cause fitnah, rather ordinary clothes that do not cause fitnah, whether green, yellow, or red. If the white clothes resemble men's clothing, leave them. However, if they are women's clothing, with embroidery or something that makes them women's clothing, and they are covering, then there is no harm. But staying away from everything that resembles men is what is required of you. Be careful that the clothes are far from resembling men, far from fitnah, and covering the entire body, including the face, which must be covered. And disobey your husband if he refuses, disobey him. Otherwise, stay in the house and do not go out.
