Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Here, a questioner from Libya says: Honorable Shaykh! What is the ruling on obeying the ruler in disobedience if he orders us not to wear the hijab for women, or orders us not to grow the beard for men? Is it permissible for a girl to remove her hijab in obedience to the ruler?
The Shaykh:
No. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Mishkat al-Masabih 3696. Therefore, it is not permissible for a man to shave his beard, because this is disobedience to Allah. Is it not the case that it is not permissible for a woman to remove her hijab, because this is disobedience to Allah?
The questioner:
One does not obey.
The Shaykh:
In disobedience to Allah. Yes.

A creature is not to be obeyed when it involves disobedience to the "Creator.”

One does not obey.
