The Ruling on Obeying a Husband in Abandoning the Hijab

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on a husband who orders his wife not to wear the hijab?

Answer:
She must not obey him; she must wear the hijab and cover herself; because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Obedience is in matters which are good and universally recognized.إنما الطاعة في المعروف
Sunan Abi Dawud 2625Sahih (Al-Albani)
and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
A creature is not to be obeyed when it involves disobedience to the "Creator.”لا طاعة لمخلوق في معصية الخالق
Mishkat al-Masabih 3696
So she must cover herself from the non-mahram, even if her husband says to her: "Do not cover yourself," yes.
