Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says that his wife refuses to wear the niqab and complains of difficulty in breathing when she wears it. His question is: Should I divorce her for this, or should I be patient with her?
Answer:
That is not correct. The niqab does not prevent breathing. It does not prevent breathing. That is a lie. She wears the niqab, and you must make her do so. You make it obligatory upon her. Yes.
