Must I obey my husband and remove my niqab due to security concerns related to his case?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Covering a woman's face is obligatory. Therefore, it is not permissible to obey the husband in removing the niqab, unless there is a confirmed harm to the husband if she wears it, such as imprisonment or torture. In such a case, it is permissible to take advantage of the concession to avert harm.
