Advising his wife to wear the hijab, but she does not comply
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you good. Also, Shaykh Salih asks and says: My wife does not observe the hijab, and I have advised her many times, but she says, "How can I wear the hijab when none of the family members are wearing it?" Is there any sin on me for that?
Answer:
You did well in this, and this is what is obligatory upon you. She is your wife, and you are her guardian, so you must compel her to wear the hijab, and compel those you are able to compel from your daughters, and those under your authority in the house, such as your sisters, and anyone over whom you have authority. It is obligatory for you to compel them to wear the hijab, because this is part of your responsibility toward them. You are their guardian and are responsible for them, and they are subjects under your care, and you are responsible for your subjects. So you must compel your wife to wear the hijab, and compel everyone you are able to. As for those you are not able to compel, you advise them, clarify the matter to them, admonish them, and explain the Islamic ruling to them. You will be rewarded for this. Yes.
