What should a committed girl do, having returned from the West, desiring to wear the niqab and marry a righteous man upon the methodology of the Salaf, while her father rejects this and opposes her religious inclination, stipulating that she abandon the niqab and return to work in order for him to approve her marriage, and refusing to marry her to anyone who follows the methodology of the Salaf out of fear of her becoming rigid and extremist?

Firstly: It is not permissible to engage in usury or assist in it, nor is it permissible for women to display their adornment (tabarruj) or mix freely with men (ikhtilat) in the workplace.

Secondly: A woman is not obliged to obey her parents in abandoning the niqab if she is convinced of its obligation.

Thirdly: It is not permissible for a woman's guardian to prevent her from marrying a suitable man whom she has accepted. If his refusal is proven, the guardianship transfers to the next in line among her agnates, or the judge may marry her off. Nevertheless, the woman should consider the potential harms resulting from such an action before proceeding with it.

Fourthly: If your father rejects a suitable suitor for you, and it becomes apparent that he will not accept your marriage to a righteous person, then he is an 'aḍil (one who unjustly withholds marriage), and you may refer the matter to the next in line among your guardians. Otherwise, you should raise the matter to the Sharia judge after considering the potential harms. The woman's guardians, in order of precedence, are: the father, then the paternal grandfather, then the son, then the full brother, then the half-brother through the father, then their sons, then the paternal uncles, then their sons, then the paternal uncles of the father, then the ruler.
