If the sisters go out displaying their adornments, they must be advised with wisdom and good counsel. If they do not respond, then there is no sin upon you after offering the advice.
However, if they do not cover their faces while wearing the legal , this matter is a point of disagreement among scholars, and it is not obligatory to condemn them for it, unless they go out with their faces uncovered and adorned, in which case they should be gently and wisely advised against it.
