What does a father do when his daughter refuses to wear the hijab?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The honorable Shaykh says: I have a daughter, and she refuses to wear the hijab. What should I do with her? And is there a sin on me if she does not comply?

Answer:
You are her guardian,
Men are in charge of womenالرِّجَالُ قَوَّامُونَ عَلَى النِّسَاءِ
[An-Nisa 4:34]
. You must enforce the hijab on her and beat her if she refuses. Beat her for this matter. You are her guardian and you are the one responsible for her. You must enforce the hijab on her. This is a religious ruling, and Allah has made you her guardian, so enforce the hijab on her, even by beating, until she complies.
