Encouraging Adherence to Hijab Even When Difficulties Arise
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A sister of ours from Sudan says: A Sudanese woman residing in the Kingdom asks our sister to say: She lives in a village where ignorance is prevalent, and she and a colleague of hers have started wearing the hijab, but they often face some calamities and difficulties, and they ask the Shaykh for guidance?
Answer:
It is obligatory for the believing woman to fear Allah in everything, and among that is the hijab; because Allah the Exalted says: [Al-Ahzab: 53], and this is not specific to the Mothers of the Believers as some people say, no, rather it is general, because purity is required for everyone, for the Mothers of the Believers and for other believing women, just as in the other verse: [An-Nur: 31] ... the verse.
So all of them are required to cover themselves, not to display their adornment, and not to expose themselves to non-mahram men, rather every believing woman must cover herself, wear the hijab, not speak with submission to anyone other than her mahram, and not display her adornment; all of this is a known matter.
So it is obligatory for the believing woman to seek reward from Allah, and to be patient, even if she is harmed for it, or if she is mocked, for the criminals mocked the Prophets (peace and blessings be upon them), and they mocked the believers, and that did not harm them.
So it is obligatory for the believing man and woman to be upright in the fear of Allah, and in performing His obligations, and in leaving His prohibitions, even if whoever mocks mocks, and whoever harms harms ...

Answer:
It is obligatory for the believing woman to fear Allah in everything, and among that is the hijab; because Allah the Exalted says:
And when you ask [his wives] for something, ask them from behind a partition. That is purer for your hearts and their hearts.
وَإِذَا سَأَلْتُمُوهُنَّ مَتَاعًا فَاسْأَلُوهُنَّ مِنْ وَرَاءِ حِجَابٍ ذَلِكُمْ أَطْهَرُ لِقُلُوبِكُمْ وَقُلُوبِهِنَّexcept to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands' fathers
وَلا يُبْدِينَ زِينَتَهُنَّ إِلَّا لِبُعُولَتِهِنَّ أَوْ آبَائِهِنَّ أَوْ آبَاءِ بُعُولَتِهِنَّSo all of them are required to cover themselves, not to display their adornment, and not to expose themselves to non-mahram men, rather every believing woman must cover herself, wear the hijab, not speak with submission to anyone other than her mahram, and not display her adornment; all of this is a known matter.
