Her mother asks her to abandon the hijab
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: I am a Muslim, praise be to Allah, and I do everything that pleases Allah, and I am committed to the Islamic hijab. However, my mother, may Allah forgive her, does not want me to observe the hijab, and she orders me to watch movies and videos, and so on. She says to me: If you do not enjoy yourself and relax, you will become an old woman and your hair will turn white?
A: It is obligatory for you to be gentle with your mother, to treat her well, and to address her in the best manner; because the right of the mother is great. However, you are not required to obey her in what is not good; due to the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Sunan Abi Dawud 2625Sahih (Al-Albani) and his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): Mishkat al-Masabih 3696 Likewise, the father, the husband, and others are not to be obeyed in the disobedience of Allah, based on the aforementioned hadith. However, the wife, the child, and the like should use gentleness and a good approach in resolving problems, by explaining the Islamic evidence, the obligation to obey Allah and His Messenger, and the need to beware of disobeying Allah and His Messenger, while remaining firm on the truth and not obeying anyone who orders what contradicts it, whether a husband, father, mother, or others.
There is no harm in watching what contains no evil on television and video, and listening to scientific seminars and beneficial lessons, and being cautious of watching the evil that is shown in them. It is also not permissible to watch movies because of the types of falsehood they contain.

Obedience is in matters which are good and universally recognized.
إنما الطاعة في المعروفA creature is not to be obeyed when it involves disobedience to the "Creator.”
لا طاعة لمخلوق في معصية الخالقThere is no harm in watching what contains no evil on television and video, and listening to scientific seminars and beneficial lessons, and being cautious of watching the evil that is shown in them. It is also not permissible to watch movies because of the types of falsehood they contain.
