Is it obligatory to compel the new Muslim woman to fully adhere to all the Sharia rulings related to dress and adornment, even if that leads to her distancing herself from Islam?
The education of a new Muslim woman in religious matters and the strengthening of her faith should be gradual, following the example of the Prophet (peace be upon him) with those who embraced Islam. He would accept from them only the two testimonies of faith, and did not require them to fulfill all the religious laws at once. Instead, he allowed them to gradually accustom themselves to Islam.
The -compliant interest may necessitate initially refraining from enjoining some obligations or prohibiting some forbidden acts, in order to win over hearts and avoid alienation.
Therefore, there is no harm in gradually applying rulings to this woman, such as those concerning or makeup, provided that this gradual approach continues until she adheres to all the commands of the Sharia.
