What is the Shar’i ruling on dealing with women who commit reprehensible acts—such as displaying their adornments (tabarruj)—if one is compelled to do so due to studies or kinship ties, while detesting the reprehensible act? And does the ruling of "denouncing the reprehensible act in one's heart while keeping away from it" apply to them?

Denial by heart is not sufficient unless one is unable to deny by tongue. Advising is obligatory upon a Muslim towards their brothers and sisters. A Muslim woman must advise her unveiled female colleagues to wear the hijab and remind them of it. If they do not benefit, and one fears for their religion from associating with them, then it becomes necessary to distance oneself from them and abandon them, based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "A man is upon the religion of his intimate friend, so let one of you look at whom he befriends," and based on what is authentically reported from Ahmad: "Do not associate except with a believer."

If there is no fear of being influenced by associating with disobedient individuals, then their abandonment should consider what is beneficial. If abandonment leads to their repentance, then abandoning them is prescribed. But if it increases their corruption, then it is better to maintain contact with them while continuing to advise them and pray for them. Conciliation might be more beneficial than abandonment, and abandonment more beneficial than conciliation, as the Prophet (peace be upon him) did.

If associating and sitting with disobedient individuals does not harm a Muslim, provided they forbid them from evil and advise them, even if they do not accept, then Allah Almighty says: {And those who fear Allah are not held accountable for them in any way, but [theirs is] only a reminder that perhaps they may fear Allah.} The pious person who enjoins good and forbids evil is not blameworthy.
