Question:
Shaykh Salih, there is also a question here regarding the Shari'ah hijab. He says to me: My sister does not wear the Shari'ah hijab when she goes out of the house. I advised her many times, more than once, but she did not respond to my advice. So what do I do toward her? Do I boycott her? Do I speak to her? Do I... so what do I do?
Answer:
It is obligatory for you to compel her to wear the hijab, because you are her guardian. Allah the Exalted says:[An-Nisa 4:34] As long as she is your sister, you are her guardian. It is obligatory for you to compel her to wear the hijab and to discipline her regarding it until she adheres to the hijab. Yes.
