Question:
What is the punishment for the one who does not wear the khimar?
Answer:
Her punishment is that she has left what Allah has made obligatory upon her, so she has left an obligatory duty, and whoever leaves an obligatory duty is punished; because the scholars have defined the obligatory as that for which one is punished for leaving it and rewarded for doing it. Leaving the hijab is a sin, and the consequence of sin is the punishment of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He.
Adhering to the khimar, covering the head, face, hands, and private parts, is obligatory for the Muslim woman because it is her 'awrah (part of the body that must be covered). She must be modest and veil herself from men, for in that lies her protection, safety, and security from fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) and from being lured by it. This is the custom of the Muslim woman.
As for the one who leaves the hijab and removes the khimar, she is a sinner and a disobedient one, and an uncovered woman who is to be feared for punishment and for the curse of Allah. It has come in the hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said:Sahih Muslim 2128 This is evidence that if a woman is lax in her dress, such that she does not wear the proper covering, she will be among the people of the Fire. This is a severe warning. It is not that he said, "Curse her," but rather, "Curse them, for they are cursed."

Two are the types of the denizens of Hell whom I did not see
صنفان من أهل النار لم أرهما.Women who are clothed yet naked, swaying and causing others to sway, their heads like the sloping humps of camels. And also men with whips like the spines of camels, striking people with them.
نساء كاسيات عاريات مائلات منيلات، رؤوسهن كأسنمة البخل المائلة، وأيضا رجال معهم سياط كأعناب البقر يضربون بها الناس،
